Older CBR/GSX/R preferrebly. Looking to spend 3kish or less; I don’t need anything brand new or modified or anything. I’m just looking for something semi-quick, comfortable, reliable, and 50MPG :boink ---

Comfortable is relative, but I’m not taking any trips on the thing. I’m just looking for something to commute on. I like the old “Cafe racers” as well - [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1972-Honda-CB500-CB-500-Cafe-Racer-NO-RESERVE\_W0QQitemZ320240037007QQihZ011QQcategoryZ80647QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1972-Honda-CB500-CB-500-Cafe-Racer-NO-RESERVE_W0QQitemZ320240037007QQihZ011QQcategoryZ80647QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Custom-Built-1978-Honda-CB750-Cafe-Racer\_W0QQitemZ140224485360QQihZ004QQcategoryZ80647QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Custom-Built-1978-Honda-CB750-Cafe-Racer_W0QQitemZ140224485360QQihZ004QQcategoryZ80647QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) ---

I’d say to forget 50mpg too, my F4i got around 35mpg bone stock, and I’m not exactly a heavy guy. My F2 may have been close to 45. Maybe some of the other 600s get 50 or more, but mine never have. ---

My buddy claims around 50 out of his newer CBR600 (03 or so,) so I just used that as a reference point. 40 and up is fine by me. ---

A lot of people said theirs were better than mine, I’m not sure why it sucked so bad. I think it was mostly because the temp dropped so far on the highway (165ish). It was probably going open loop. ---
