How about a 250 4-stroke off roader, that way you have something nice for the winter months too....just a thought

I would definitely consider it, I doubt one could be found for the sort of money I would want to spend however.

Off roaders are stupid expensive considering the "value" of the knackered heaps of crap you end up with.

But there was a h*nda CB350S for sale on here for £500 which would do the winter commuting trick very well.

Then you can come green laning with us then Dave

YBR125's are certainly great on fuel and that would be your biggest saving, Miss YC posted a very high MPG figure recently. Quedos used to ride a CB250, I'll PM her and ask what MPG she used to get. I'd get a shaft driven CVT gearbox maxi-scoot for commuting myself, Suzuki Burgman et al, but then I have no street cred to uphold

CBf250 - i would get 70-80mpg easily though I did get 110mpg once!!
Easily hit the speed limits 70mph no prob's even with my hulk on it, great for commuting and so much fun to chuck about I can't fault it!

MCN review, Ride done a review too all based on commuting

Yeah! Need another pair of hands to help pull my XT out of a bog. Got it stuck up to the footpegs on Friday and had to pull it out on my own, lots of swearing and sweating with the bars in completely the wrong place having turned in the yoke clamps with the force I was having to exert to move the bike. I had visions of leaving it stuck in a hole and going off to get help. I looked like the michelin man who had been in a mud bath.

well there you go a meta 2 cat 1 alarm knocks £18.59 off your insurance premium,
well off the multi bike policy with the first bike having a cat 1 alarm anyway

Those CBf250s look like the perfect little bike for what I am after however they are still a little pricey it would seem, they are still pretty new. Want to keep this second bike to sub £800 if possible.

With my insurance it did not make any difference to the premium at all having an alarm or immobiliser on it.

Go Chinese you can afford something much newer than you think
