Winter hack 125-250cc what?
I quite like the idea of a little trailie (spelt right?) style thing and ill put some semi noblies on for bad weather days. I think when the weather is nasty through winter a 1000cc's is a bit much...
Prefer the price to be low, lower than £1000 thats for sure as its just a winter hack. Cheers. |

Damn, on auto trader they start out at £2500!!!  That wouldnt be far off of being bang on the money though but unless I can find one for considerably less its a no go... (My Falco only cost £2800!)I just noticed a DR350, £1090 and looks in decent nick... Not sure if economy is the best though. Last edited by ThEGr33k; 09-11-10 at 09:06 AM. |

Problem is with these bikes for winter commuting is they have 1970s quality electrics which are absolutely sh*te and they tend to shake themselves to bits quite regularly. Carnivore on here runs a yam SRX600 which would be IMO spot on except for the lack of electrical power. Forget about heating grips, jackets etc. Suppose it depends how far you need to ride.

Re: Winter hack 125-250cc what?
Honda CRM250 stroker gets my vote.
Don't know if the "newer" ones have a leccy boot? Most of the ones I have seen are kicker. Grey import only unfortunately. But it will go like feck, sound anti-social as feck and you'll stink of Eau d'Comp Deux. Here a expensive posh one....
