Default Recommend me a bike.

Bike that fits the following criteria:

1. Capable of doing 70 miles per day commuting 50-55 motorway the rest low-ish speed filtering.

2. Economical (i.e. More economical than the CBR600RR).

3. Reliable, I'm no mechanic so something that doesn't need constant attention other than an oil change would be great.

4. I'm a short ****!

5. I'm a tight **** too, so it has to be cheap as I don't really want to get rid of the CBR.

Answers on a postcard to:

If it was all off-road I would in a second, but unfortunately most of it will be M20/A20!

SV's no more economical than the CBR - think I'd sooner use the CBR - older ZX6?/Dullville/bandit/bros650/fazer...
