Suggest me a commuter tourer

Well I'm in the market for a Commuter hack to do 64+ miles a day (25 motorway 12 central london each way) and wondered if anyone had any suggestions on cheap and solid machines

Serious when I say a Deauville. Speak to stig_of_the_dump, he gave me some useful information when I was in the market for one. I soon knocked the idea on the head as i stopped commuting and my plans to go to Switzerland were scuppered as the place is not available now

Deauvilles are shaft driven so no chain maintenence (but I have no clue on servicing the drive shaft prices...), good on tyres, some storage room, and the two that I sat on and 1 that I rode, very comfortable.

old bandit or an old fazer if an sv is out of the question for some unknown reason.

smaller bikes would be gs500, gpz500, or the cb500. all good and underestimated bikes for daily commuting

Yeah, but they are the most dull, uninspiring bikes you'll likely come across.
How about a Transalp...yeah yeah and i say a dullsvilles dull, but I have a mate who has a transalp, and he thinks its brilliant for what he does.
