That looks nice. The 599 as it is known in the States doesn't sell very well due to its high price. Who makes that fairing?

Hi Johno, its not a 599 its a CBF1000, I used to have a 599 but traded it in for the CBF as I do quite a few motorway miles and needed a bit of protection........

Loaded a ready to go.....

We aren't offered that model over here. All we get is sport bikes and cruisers plus the Gold Wing. I've heard the ST1300 is a special order bike.

The 599 and 919 are naked, so no protection from the wind and that wears on you in a hurry. If that is the stock fairing and windshield, it looks like Honda did a fine job. Does it come with the center stand? That is an option over here on the 599 and 919? Yamaha's FZ6 comes with the center stand. It also comes with a fairing and is cheaper than the 599.

No more naked bikes for me. You get over 50 and it gets a bit tiring.

Hi Johno, Yes its the stock fairing but with a givi screen added as it is 6 inches taller than the Honda stock screen and yes its comes as standard with the centre stand and yes again I like You feel the years when riding a full naked bike.

Bike with Honda screen

Bike with Givi screen

The CBF has a two position screen and as you can see in the pics the Honda screen is in the upper position and the Givi is in the lower position and is still taller than the Honda screen.
