Hi All,
Decided this year in my late 50's to see if I might like motorcycling. After many years enjoying driving and some four wheeled club motor sport, I considered I may have mellowed enough to ride sedately on the roads without killing myself!
Did my CBT - then sime road ridung fir a couple of months on 80cc Yamaha Townmate, followed by 125cc Honda Varadero and the did my DAS on Er6 and passed my test a couple of weeks ago.
Bought myself a 1992 Honda Revere 600-M (see m.youtube.com/watch?v=u71Vc-z7Zws) and now just have a grin every time I ride it. It's perfect for me, with not too much power but a nice flat torque curve to bumble around the Cornish countryside. Even got my wife to come out on the back of it yesterday!
Ok the gear selection is a bit agricultural, but does not appear to want to jump out of any gear. One thing I have noticed is a slight buzzing sound from the front brake at relatively low speeds - sounds like it may be just noise from the disc cross drillings?
