A second bike
Ok, the SV is in fairly bad need of some maintenance and I'd like to take it off the road for a week or two while I do it all. I'm expecting broken bolts, etc, so I can't do bits and pieces in the evenings and expect the bike to be useable in the morning.
This has led me to believe I need an old hack to ride, and I need it pretty soon. I can scrape about £250 together for something that needs to do 35 fast commuting miles every day (country roads) and if necessary, do few hundred mile motorway trips. It would be nice if it will sell for about the same with a few thousand more miles on it. Does anybody know of something for sale? or have any good suggestions for what to look for apart from the standard GS500, CB500, XJ600, Bandit. I don't mind if it needs a few things doing, but a project bike wouldn't be an option. |

Cheers.
I reckon that will go for more than I'm willing to pay. |

Unfortunately, it's not a real option, since I do need to do 70mph for hours at a time on the motorway. |
