Advantages: Soft, feel, distance Disadvantages: A bit pricey
Having taken up golf in the last year i've lost (and found) alot of golf balls on the local fairways as you might expect, most of these balls are then hit and lost again for someone else to find and so the cycle continues.
That was at least until i slowly showed signs of improvement and treated myself to a sleeve (pack of 3) of Titleist NXT tour golf balls from my local pro shop for £4.99, i must admit i wasnt keen to part with almost a fiver for 3 golf balls but you know the way it is... better equipment will make me a better player right? well funnily enough it may have helped a little.
So what is so special about the NXT tour series of ball?
Well, firstly its round (which helps) so nothing special there then, its when you first tee one up and hit it - that's when you know you've just hit a great ball, when you manage to tee ...
Advantages: Cheap, Reliable, Forgiving Disadvantages: Not the best looker and lacking on power compared to other bikes.
Honda CB500 a great little machine.
I got my CB500 after a 'dry' spell because I had my license taken away and wanted something to get me back into riding. From the moment I first sat on it we just connected somehow and so the relationship began.
The bike was a unfaired 2000 W plate and had been used as a race bike and had then been put back onto the road only to be involved in a front end crash which resulted in the following damage. Twisted yokes, bent forks, broken clocks, dented tank, scuffed plastics, broken mirors, broken indicators and a smashed headlight.
Now being such a popular and reliable bike cheap parts were in abundance, the only hard part to come by was the instrument cluster. Honda sell them for over £600 new but you can get a second hand one for around £100. Scuffed plastics can be rubbed with wet/dry paper ...

Advantages: everything Disadvantages: nothing- brakes could be better
i brought a top condition 1994 model with 28,000 miles on the clock that had a front fairing fitted for £1000, the front fairing model doesnt look as good as the naked model, but i was going for practicality not just looks, mines a full power version and as my first bike i instantly learn the controls and how to cope with a proper weight motorbike not a feather weight 125cc, the expereance so far has been simply mindblowing, i instantly thought the bike was powerful and torquey,but like everyone else has said as soon as you go over 6,000rpm the bike takes off like it has a turbo fitted, hand on heart the power is insane coming from a yamaha 125cc with 13bhp to my honda cb500 with 58bhp, the bike masters all conditions-city,open roads and motorways.
UPDATE 1
iv owned my cb500 for just over 2 months now, and im happy to report that ...
