Review
Why oh why have Honda stopped making CB500s! In my opinion, this is the best all-round bike you can lay your hands on.

What do you want your bike to do? Commute? Perfect - narrow and light, nice flat bars allow easy maneouvring, outruns any car from the lights with ease, and still returns 50-60mpg. Trackdays? Oh yes - CB500s even have their own race series, Ron Haslam uses them at his race school at Donnington, and most riders will find their limits long before the bike's. Weekend blasts? You betcha. A good rider will keep up with many a supersports on the twisties on the CB500 - great fun for you, and a serious embarassment for them! :-) Touring? Crank up the preload, strap on a wingrack, and away you go, with a 200+ mile tank range and a relaxed riding position to help you eat up the miles. Pillion? Plenty of room, decent seat and sensible pillion pegs that don't put you in a knee-breaking crouch. A good grab-handle too.

The bike can be restricted for beginners, and is very forgiving if ridden quietly; but buzz an unrestricted machine into its 7-9k zone and it flies along, accelerating hard and reaching well over the ton in no time. Drop it and it's hardy - very little to break easily, and if it does, replacement parts are cheap. The engines are bulletproof and if properly maintained will easily run to 100k with little more likely to go wrong than the camchain tensioner giving out - a £40 replacement (why do you think there are so many despatch riders using them!). There's a big, active and helpful owners' club too, with massive communal expertise ann a really helpful outlook. Post a problem and several locals will be round to help you sort it out in no time. How many other bike groups are like that?

It's cheap to buy, dirt cheap to run, incredibly reliable, easy to work on, and really a no-brainer choice for an allrounder which can do the work but still be fun. Many people think of them as cheap winter hacks but they can do this and SO much more. And some of them even look really sexy - check out one of the black half-faired "S" models with gold wheels - yummy :-)

In summary it's a bike with enough power that you can really use it all in the real world, a chassis that's simple but effective, a budget bike in price but not in performance. Thre is no other bike which delivers half as much for so little money, not to mention in so many areas. .

Buy one - you won't regret it!

Honda CB125
I bought this bike (1988 CB125TDJ) with 28k miles on the clock in December 2007, this bike was a "temporary" thing for me as I am 17 and looking for my bike test yet.
Seven-eight months later I find myself with a full year's MOT, which brings me onto reliability.
So far so good, its now up to 35 thousand miles and the main thing that has gone wrong was a cracked piston, which is just as well because we found a poorly bodged internal bearing.
The recess for the circlip to hold on the rear sprocket mysteriously wore away so I replaced the back wheel.
Very cheap parts for this bike, relativly easy to work on as all the nuts and bolts work.
I did the fork seals but following a Haynes manual, it was very easy to do.
The bike is surprisingly comfy hauling my near 15 stone 6ft frame around, so undoubtedly I have no option but to take advantage of the 12000rpm redline,(have seen 13k), the bike will sit comfertably on the road at about 55-60mph I saw 80 once on a very steep hill further north in Scotland.
I find the handling very predictable and sedate. Try if you want but it's hard to upset this bike.

There is a problem with ground clearance i've tried hanging of MotoGPgp style but it still scrapes whats left of the worn pegs and centre stand.
To give you an idea what this bike can do - I go along comfortably with an RS125 when the road gets rough(real) the CB does fine, the front can wonder a bit in the corners, it's averaging 65mpg with my enthuseastic riding, around 85mpg in the snow. This bike having a longer wheelbase is very good on slippery terrain but its handy to lean offroad skils before you find this out(CR250).

The brakes are poor, double the breaking by putting your feet down but they pass an MOT and you dont really need them often anyway(braided hoses) (Racing pads).
The looks and dream appeal are low for most but I think it looks nice enough. I never go cruising around town anyway, I go for longer runs down backroads.
To sum up this bike, its like a fat girlfriend, great fun to ride but embarrasing to show to your friends
