Hi thanks for the reply ,yes watch this space ,I have more free time now :). All the best Mp

many thanks happy new year !

thanks shane hny to you too :)

What's mpg like on combined journeys?

Hi kevin ,im back !!

Nice one ....good choice all the best mark

Thanks yes it does ☺️😊

Hi david the mt07 is a great bike ,ive ridden one ,its a very affordable parallel twin with about 70 hp,would be a great buy ,i love the mt07 all the best mark

both good starter big bikes, the Honda is about 15BHP more powerful and offers a smooth linear power delivery but the Yamaha will feel more torquey at lower revs. Im biased and would say go for the twin! Just wondering if youve looked at the SV 650? I had one a while ago and loved the v twin also some cracking deals on nearly new ones

@@captainaverage721 thanks for the info I'll take a look at the sv thanks

@@davidlazenby5442 you're welcome, if you're a new rider i think youre doing the right thing by looking at these types of bikes theyre more than fast enough and a great way to polish your riding skills.

Hi alex yes it is hopefully , i have more free time now to get the keys from dealers, all the best mark

Yes it was the 500 pat im back !! , happy new year

Haha yes it's not very good Christian ! Thanks for the comment all the best mp

Hi Adam you could probably do two hundred miles on this no problem it always depends on how ride fit you are ,there are better tourers arround but this Honda is a good all rounder all the best mark

@@markpulling12 The problem is I'm not with England coming. I'm from Central Europe that does not matter. I'm just thinking about doing trip in the summer of 2020 Prague(CZE), Saarbrücken (GER), Giverny (FRA), Essex (UK) and then home. That's why I'm looking for a comfortable motorbike on this road, and since I love only Honda and this bike is very interesting to me a bit Honda Hornet.

Hi Andy ....all the bikes you've mentioned are 5 ⭐ bikes ...my favourite is the nc750 but just be mindful as a new rider of the size and weight of these bikes ..just takes a few months to develop your skills...I always recommend the cb500f as a great first bike Good luck with your biking career Best wishes mark

​@@markpulling12 mark I have failed my mod 2 a couple of times any good advice 😊

@@ANDY-we7mr just keep rebooking Andy don't give up...just practice on what you failed on ...my friend failed twice he passed on the third attempt...it will definitely be worth it....I still love bikes and I've been riding 35 years Good luck for next time :)

@@markpulling12 I had a,test on Thursday mate shouldn't have gone mark I had food poisoning this time last week caught it my KFC where I live been to the doctors defo food poison I went for the test mate last Thursday still poorly vomiting all over the grass I should have cancelled it

Hi I have a review on the cbr too on my channel ,I'd definitely go for the cbr ,it's got more wind protection and I found it to be comfortable All the best mark

mark pulling Great thanks! I will check that video out next 👍 Did you find it more comfortable even considering the more leaned over seating position and angled handle bars?

@@alxforth1 no not more comfortable about the same ,even though it's marketed as a sports bike the clip ons are above the top yoke so it's nothing like my ninja 636 racer crouch position just a nice sports touring position ,low seat height and well priced new ,also check out the Ninja 650 that's a good one too :)

@@markpulling12 Nice one thanks! Great to get first hand information. I was looking at the Ninja however the Honda has won me over

Hi yes it's very slightly lean forward...I'd definitely recommend the tracer 7 for longer trips Best wishes mark

Glad it was helpful!

Hi. Yes this would be a very good first big bike ,it has about 90 hp which will impress you alot as a beginner and more importantly it's easy to ride with no surprises ,it's nice and smooth ,all the best mark

@@markpulling12 thanks for the quick response my friend. You're respond as fast as the paramedics 😄😄😄

I did my license on z750. Then i bought cb650f 2015 - its like ending in different dimension Much better handling, agyle,. Driving like a bycycle. Power when ever you need. Keeping up with sports bike easyly. From the downside - no gear indicator, but in time you start to addapt in which gear you should be depending on speed and revs No heat grrips, no cruise control And the worst - its kind a bad wind protection Those are reversable with aftermarket parts - but not quit findable and cheap - mostly ebay Aftermarket exhaust starts from 600 euro and up. Cheapest was ixil x55 - i got used on No ecu reflash kit yet 5 years later - only power comander - around 250-300 euros No rear axle sliders Basic maintenance is easy Realy good fuel economy Bike is realy underrated - but it will be good choise I did some rideing with triumph street triple 675 - nahhh... so stiff Only bike which could be better is yamaha mt/fz 07 - but i havent ride with it so i cant compare - yust check reviews

@@Evoandrs Hi thanks for the comments

Hi, i have also a 2016 one, but as second big bike - after a Suzuki Gs500. My opinion is, that this CB is the bike for anyone, who would like to ride and enjoy it in any circumstances without fearings. Just ride, give your hands to the bike's hand and only enjoy the ride. Best choice in inline 4 class under 1000ccm.

Nice one tristian great choice !!

i think you need direct access tristan to get over 45 bhp,but im sure you could get a restrictor kit for the cb650f,prob best though to just do the direct access i would have thought mark

@@markpulling12 Cheers for the reply, I'll I'll defently go for the direct access. It's such a looker I'm going to have alot of fun with it.

Go for full

Any good? Pros, Cons?

Hi it does help with the wind protection plus it looks good 😊 Cheers mark

Nice one bobby You'll love it ! Regards mark

@@markpulling12 Bought a 2017 model today 2900 miles, love it. Thanks for the review it helped alot especially when it came to the test drive.

Hi Steve for long trips only I'd go for the versus because of its comfort and wind protection Cheers mark

Hi yes it's comfortable but for distance touring I'd more likely go for a bike with more wind protection and a big screen but yes you can still tour on any bike Best wishes mark

Hi mark ..yes it's the norm you'll get used to it...carb bikes have a very soft throttle response...fuel injection is way more immediate Great choice btw cheers MP

@@markpulling12 you were spot on, a few hundred miles later, a little adjustment back to the Honda recommended throttle adjustment and it is very manageable. I also loved your review on the Triumph Trident, your presentation along with clear information is excellent.

Hi it was a while ago ...but I think it was a power bronze screen and givi engine bars Cheers mark

Thanks buddy

Hi Paul yes flat footed no problem .. very good bike as I recall ...there is also the cb500f which I recently reviewed which is great too

Much appreciated Mark. Thanks very much

Hi yes it would be a great bike to trade up too,have a look at the z650 too :)

That's a good price :)

@@markpulling12 cheers for the reply mark I'm going to get it this weekend I think the bike is mint just hope I'm picking the rite dream bike. I just don't want tsomething il get bored of quick lol. Shall I wait for some winter prices or go with this deal I'm really not sure lol

@@user-fj9ez7kv8p no I'd go for it now ..prices only drop a bit over winter ..get it now and enjoy the autumn :)

I got it now I need my license 🥴🤪 next month 🙏

This for looks but for easy to ride, light all around bike MT07 wins for sure.

Hi jeremy ,yes thats about right ,make an offer of 4900 ,then you should get it for 5k good luck mark

@@markpulling12 Hi mate I will try, it's from a Honda Dealer so it might be tough but thanks 😉

Hi Paul ,it was a while ago now ,but I think it was an mra cheers mark
