  • OK, slightly more mundane question - what bike for inner city commuting?
    ULEZ, good all year round so fine riding slowly in the rain and nipping round traffic queues.
    relatively cheap to run and service.
    Fazer 600?
    Transalp?

  • Any 300cc scooter

  • Problem with a Fazer is handlebars at mirror height, but a good shout. Sports bikes are good as can fold them in. Watch out if you've a big topbox and taking out cars when cutting small gaps. But I'd go for a scooter, if you can secure it. Sv650 might be a good one too, if you want a bike that is.

  • Honda c90, get an immaculate JDM one for a couple of k.

    The c90 seems as fast as anything else out there on the commute into London, ultra manoeuvrable, but still leaves you quite chilled.

    I had a 250 yam scooter before and the urge was always to thrash it and the insurance was savage, dropped nearly £500 p.a since I replaced it with a Harley

    Bit leftfield, and old but not mundane... Suzuki Goose 350?

  • Too big for filtering IMO. I do fancy an old transalp though as they are very affordable and they off road well as well. I would be getting a small trail bike or something like a Grom /TNT.
