I had the Honda CG as a good reliable bullet-proof learner and commuter bike...
And when I decided to get a big bike, I said I wasn't only going to consider Honda, I was happy to have a Kawasaki, or a Suzuki, or a Ducatti......
But I sat on a CBR, liked the CBR, and bought a CBR - so I now have 2 Hondas 8-)
