For Sale Honda CBF 1000

[timeandtide]

A brief explanation.
My brother is selling this bike.
It was owned by his IAM observer and Blood Biker colleague who unfortunately topped himself.
Andy took it on to support his widow but it’s really not his sort of bike.
CBF1000:
Very good condition, MoT (21/7/2026) full matching luggage, Tutoro oiler, bar risers, spots, heated grips, datatool security, warranty and service booklet, 2 spare ignition keys and several spare keys for luggage and an extra side pannier. Mileage will be under 13999 . Priced to sell £2,750
Bike is in Somerset (nr Wells)

There are a couple of vids as well but I appear unable to attach them!

Or DM me for phone number.
(Pics slightly better than Giles quality but I’m just the messenger!)

Seem to remember Andy saying that the guy was an engineer (retired) and the bike was very well cared for.

Without wishing to sound like a snowflake, is the cause of his death relevant? And if it had to be mentioned could it not be put with a little more sensitivity? Nonetheless, good luck with the sale.

Well you do sound like a bit of a snowflake!
I was simply and accurately explaining how my brother came to be in possession of it.
It was his sensitive and supportive nature that led to him becoming involved!
The cause of his death was obviously depression.
Is it mentioning the manner of his death that disturbs you?

Could you not have just said died? It’s pretty distasteful to anyone who has to deal with the aftermath and consequences of suicide.

How old is the bike?

So you’re suggesting I should “gloss over” ie hide the truth in order to accommodate unknown folk’s sensibilities?
( Sorry if this has touched a nerve for you)

I’ll ask him.
2009.

I had one around 2005 to 07 when I bought my 1st GS. Solid well made as typical of Honda, good smooth low cost tourer, de tuned fireblade engine, pretty bullet proof bike for someone.
