Something along the lines of a GPZ500S (maybe physically too small for me though), XJ600 (or a later XJ600S Diversion), K75, RF600, ZZR600, GSX600F, CBR600, etc, etc. Basically, I'm looking for something ideally either half or fully faired, and without a 'race' riding position - something to commute on (although I'd love something like a C90 or a 125, etc, it'd be a bit impractical for someone 6'1" and 20 stone... ). I'm not looking for an immaculate bike, and have around £500 to spend. Dale

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of a V twin factory custom (Virago or similar) - whack a huge screen on the front and go play CHiPs...

I'm a bit of a drive away, but I'm thinking of selling my CBX750FE.
It's my daily commuter, and the paintwork is a bit tatty to look at in places after 20 odd years, but it's a 1st time starter, just had its MOT, recent back tyre, chain & sprockets, service, battery, and it has a Givi/Kappa rack to fit a box for your work kit. Semi-faired too. Plenty of life in it. Was thinking of asking £550.
Like I said at the start tho, maybe a bit too far.

St Helens, so from Milton Keynes its M1, M6, then a short hop down the M62. I've done that drive a couple of times last year as we have an office down there, takes about 3 hours. Have a think, I'm in no rush, just fancy a change this year. My email (removing the spaces and adding the dots to hopefully stop the spam) is phorbiuz @ yahoo co uk
