Like the others have said.......a Honda of some sort.
Depends how far you are planning to travel in one hit. I can see the advantage in something shaft-driven but if you're not planning on long distances then I'd suggest a CB-1 or 400-4. Both well-built and reliable. Or an NTV......... I think if it were my money I'd try for one of these. Always popular and easy to sell-on in the spring. |

The Suzuki Freewind looks like a Aprilia Pegaso. I wouldnt think you could trail on that.
The MZ looks great! - Cant imagine that going cheap? I think ill stick with the car, sell it and possibly get something for a cheap runaround and get a 2nd bike anyway. I just have to persuade my girlfriend that i can afford it! |

£1500 eh?
Probably an er5 (£750), aftermarket full fairing (£300), heated grips, scottoiler, fs365, handlebar muffs, rack, topbox and the rest on the upkeep. For a winter hack who cares what it looks like. I'd try and get the BIGGEST aftermarket fairing for the er5 for complete wind protection. |

Some off the traillie bikes aren't holding they're value now as alot off people are getting rid due to not being able to ride on the green lanes.

I use a DRZ 400 , formerly a DR350, which is still in the garage as reserve, or for sale maybe.

 Don't know why. I'm sure there's an equivalent though.
