Hi mate
Look for 600cc diversions. Cheap as chips, really easy to work on, economical and spares are very readily available. I got my last divvy for £400....heated grips, tax, mot, faired, hpi clear, 32k on the clock, scottoiler, everything spot on....for £400. Very underrated. Check ebay and snipe.

If thats the case have a CBR600 which is mechanically sound but does need some tlc [basically time/money this year has gone on the SV rather than getting that up and running. And certainly would be well less than £300 asking price.

I had one. Don't go for anything older than about 95. The signal generator had a design flaw on the early ones whereby they commonly lost their magnets which then ate the stator. Apparently water pumps were a problem too, but mine didn't work for long enough to break it.
