Honda CB1000R
Fast Bikes|July 2019

THIS MONTH I HAVE MOSTLY BEEN… Waving off one CB and turning my attention to another one.

Honda CB1000R

So the CB1000R Neo Café Racer has been returned to Honda. A10-month stay with Fast Bikes saw this new incarnation of the CB pass through two keepers, but ridden by us all with a genuine appreciation for the capabilities of this bike, despite having to do a lot of head scratching on where to place it.

It’s had quite a journey; well, a few actually. Martin was the first keeper, racking up as many miles as he could, as quickly as he could to get it through the 600-mile first service and way beyond completing 3,500 of the total 5,200 completed in 10 months. With a late arrival of the Honda, Martin timed his departure from FB towers beautifully with the end of the summer, thus I got the rough end of the stick with the weather, but that did not stifle my enjoyment of ownership.

Sensational Suzuki Live - Blending decades of motorcycles, racing legends, track time and a beer tent with a cracking band, Suzuki Live's formula proved a winner for the thousands there.

Blending decades of motorcycles, racing legends, track time and a beer tent with a cracking band, Suzuki Live’s formula proved a winner for the thousands there. As motorcycling events go, Suzuki Live's 2024 effort is surely set to take some topping. Held over two days at the iconic Cadwell Park circuit, the event played host to a list of two-wheeled legends and a mixed bag of iconic Suzuki machinery spanning five decades.

It's been a busy old month but so good being back in the thick of it. Despite the great British weather, it finally feels like summer is here, and I've been all over the place with some really great events since we spoke last month.

It's a long time since I had that feeling... 1057 days, to be precise, and if you were to ask if 'that day' was the day it would happen again, then I would have bet all my worldly belongings against it.

YAMAHA WABASH RT

When you live a life of wheelies, burnouts and fast laps on race tracks, it's hard to spot a midlife crisis... but six months on in the saddle of Yamaha's Wabash e-bike, I daresay that's exactly where I'm at. I'll be honest, cycling isn't for everyone, and quite frankly, Lycra is even more polarising, but for me, life on two wheels, be it powered or pedalled, has formed my staple diet for as long as I can remember.
