CBF500 are probably not the prettiest but as I'm near Brixton won't want anything too shiny.
These bike are like the ak47 of the bike world, reliable, robust and with a bit of care keep ticking along for ages.Changing for. Triumph tiger 800. XC if possible but not losing sleep if bog standard but want the foglights and heated grips as doing some rides in the dark country lanes

My mate ran one of these as a courier bike for about a year, made a raspy little sound which I never really liked, but ran like a champ needing nothing but fuel, oil and tyres in the year he had it. Was on about 85k when he sold it and you'd never know TBH.
Honda V4, tried an early 00's VFR850 (?) a few weeks ago thinking I'd like it. Sort of, loved the engine, but not as quick as was expecting, or maybe because its so smooth through the range it doesn't feel that quick? Also was not as sharp to ride as I was hoping, much better than current bike at those things but not exciting enough to part cash.
