David and I head out into deepest Suffolk on our bargain Honda bikes. Me on my CRF300L and David on his CBR500R. Honestly my CRF300L is a lot of fun on country lanes and B roads, plenty of grip amazing suspension (I have K tech shocks and springs) it's a super fun machine. David is able to explore the full power of the CBR500R without getting to silly speeds, makes it a most rewarding bike to ride. Who needs to spend 3 x or 4 x as much on a big R1250GS? For motorcycling smiles per £ these Hondas win.
