Bandit 650cc. A little over the cc, and the 650 will prices will still be a few Łk, but i've got an oil cooled 650 and for 27 mile commute, its bloody superb. Comfy, ABS, cheap insurance, easy to repair parts.
I try to keep it clean as much as possible (Salt + budget bikes = rusts quick) and regulary get other bikers comment to me that the Bandits a reat bike for a commute.
Big tank, i've had 217 miles from one tank, but usually get about 185-200 miles with some hooning every tank fill
Otherwise, what about a 600cc Bandit? Just the same I guess, but i've not had one so can't compare them.
Phazer 600? Pricey though?
Thundercat 600cc?
Hornet 600cc, but thye have a really bad fuel range, but about 100bhp (Bandit 650 is about 81bhp).
