Has a beak but isn't a GS .....

I had a load of fun On a CBF 250 over the last 18 months despite the lack of go so when I had the chance to "upgrade" to something a little kinder to my 6' 4" frame with no cash outlay ( swopped two bikes with cash to me) I jumped in .
It has the full Charley and Ewan luggage kit so I get lots of waves and leg waggles from those types when out and about
They obviously haven't noticed it's only a 250 . I'd have preferred the Yellow and black ... but on the plus side it does 32 km per litre or 90mpg and will at a push do 500kms (300miles) to a 17l tank. What it lacks in speed I can make up over the course of a day by travelling non stop! I did 900kms the first weekend I got it and have covered over 1600 kms( 1000 miles) in less than 2 weeks including a short daily commute.
