I am 38 years old, perhaps a little old to fit the "image" many people have of those who ride motorcycles that are designed like this. The Honda CBR1000F is NOT the fastest stock motorcycle on two wheels, but I honestly believe it is ONE of the BEST, over the years it has been selected as the BEST large sportsbike in it's class; one popular motorcycle magazine even proclaimed it "The Gentleman's Motorcycle" for its overall handling, appearance, and performance. I have very few problems while riding this bike and have decided that a large cruiser, such as a Honda Gold Wing, isn't quite my style at the moment... Now, maybe when I'm around 50... In the meantime, keep an eye out for me, as you never know where I'll show up!
