Anyone tried a Fantic Caballero?
Got a Honda cb300r ( naked neo thing ) which has bought back the pleasure of simply popping down to the shops or gently trundling around the countryside ( before all the lock down stuff ). Its amply quick enough but for longer journeys ( > 150miles ) its doing over 6K revs at 60mph feeling a bit stressed and vibey. I want something as light, easy to clean and simple but can keep me ahead of the heavy goods traffic on Mways ( so 70 ish ) without having to rev it so hard, hence the question. Anyone know anything good/bad about or tried the Fantic ( dirt track or scrambler ) ?

I've not tried one but I trust the opinion of a certain Mr Neeves:

That gets an impressive write up!
Lovely looking toy, spot on mix of modern/retro and no ridiculous rider aid package, lots of quality cycle parts, just hope Fantic have a grip on quality control on the engine manufacture.
If I was in your shoes I'd check what the warranty is, read up other write ups ect.
Hope it is as good as it looks

Cheers guys. Been sniffing around Fantic/SWM/Mash for a while and Fantic doesn't seem to get much bad press and usually it seems to be cycle parts that seem to be a problem with these bikes. I'll be keeping a CBF1000 as my dull reliable everyday bike so its something of a toy to open the garage door and make me smile. Anyway, nothing can happen for a long while yet. The little cb300 is doing sterling work popping me down to the supermarket now and then.
