krymore 3 Posted May 9, 2015 Hi, So a little about me. I live in Tampa, FL area. I really wanted a bike while I was in the military and the wife said no... So fast forward 10 years and I still wanted a bike, but I am also older and wiser. So the wife agreed to let me take the class. Passed it last week and went and looked at a few bikes. Was looking at the R3 and the Honda CB500F. Few buddy's said I would out grow the 300 really fast. So the search continued. Then the wife said no street bikes. So I showed her some pictures of the FZ-07 and she said it looks a little like a dirt bike. So I went up to the dealership and ended up buying it because the guy knocked $1000 of MSRP. Wife was only mad for a day or so and then she got over it. Loving the bike. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snowdriftless 145 Posted May 11, 2015 Welcome! Convincing the Wife was probably the hardest part of my bike purchase. She didn't like bikes with fairings ("All that plastic stuff on it" in her words). I too was looking at the Honda CB500F. Other than the MPG I think the FZ-07 blows the CB500F out of the water.
