I don't want to ride my SV to work too much in tropical thunderstorms (as if).

So yeh, a cheap as chips bike to insure, drop it a million times and replace nothing kinda bike.

What we got? (this isn't an advert, i don't wanna buy one yet as such, i just want advice on what to buy if i did )

I had a look in other places and over autotrader but i don't know what i'm looking for... kinda hard.

I thought that the SV met the criteria in the thread title... that is the reason that I bought mine.

JMO, 125's are toys. The DR200 is not a bad little "cheap" bike.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the Au version is designed to be banged around.
