New CBF owner

Hi All,

My name is Chris & I've just bought myself a 2004 CBF500 in Black as my first starter bike having just passed my direct access tests.

Glad to have found you all on this site. Hopefully I can learn a few things and help out as well.

Mods on my cbf500 include... Scot-oiler, heated grips, fender extender, small smoked screen, extended rear hugger & chain guard, anodised black levers, motad downpipes, full givi pannier kit.

Cheers,
Chris

Sounds good. A lot of people on here have CB500s, some have had (or do have) CBF500s. The engine (and a few other bits) are the same; the rest is a little different.

Anyway, don't let that put you off, they are pretty similar bikes.

Have you any pictures of your new acquisition?

Welcome Chris, sounds like a nice ride!

Isnt the CBF a little more powerful?

No. It's also heavier, slower and less fuel efficient.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Surprised by that. Maybe another good source for engines though?
