    Hi Joe I feel your pain. I have suffered with spondylitis of the lower spine for many years. I had a similar mri scan and the option of an operation with the inherent risks. I decided against the operation for the same reasons as yourself that was 10 years ago. I’m still riding motorcycles are my life like yours and I’ll go on doing it until I’m unable too. My latest bike and most probably my last is a cbf600n the naked version. I’ve gone full circle started with my 1st big bike 45 years ago a Honda cb550 four. I suffered a major heart attack 2 years ago, and have chronic heart disease. But I’m not letting the back pain or the extreme fatigue stop me from throwing a leg over my motorcycles. They are like a little piece of heaven. The total focus they require when riding always makes me feel normal as the distraction means I don’t feel quite so much pain. So please keep on riding as much as you can they are a great way to alleviate your pain. Best wishes Andy.

    I was looking at used bikes, but couldnt afford what i actually want. Then i saw this model from 2007 for a good price, and started to do some research on it. I found your videos and I have to say, they are really good and you really made me wanna look closer at this bike. Today i went and had a look at it, and took it for a ride. I have to say that, it really has something to it. It was a joy to ride it. It was so easy riding it, and somehow i felt that i was really in control of this bike. The engine is running smooth and nice, and the seating position is pretty good. I only have a couple of things to point out. The original seat is a little to hard, at least for my bum. It is okay for shorter trips, but i wouldnt wanne go for a 500 km trip on it. That is a minor thing, since you can always install a comfort seat instead. The other thing is, that i actually missed some power from it. Maybe it is because i am used to bigger engines form mu previous bikes. I will probably end up buying this bike because it was actually really enjoyable to ride. With a new seat i could see my self use it for both shorter and longer trips. But If i could affort it, i would go for the 1000 ccm.
