Like many others here I've covertly been keeping an eye out for the next potential victim to upgrade/sidegrade to.
Although sportbikes are swell (especially the not-so-practical crotch rockets) and all, I find myself wanting to experience something from another school of thought such as a r80 or Gt550.
The criteria would have to be both the practicality of commuting, reliability, parts availability and not overly complex engine design (primarily as my understanding of such things are limited, however the will to learn is definitely there)... of course this is all an afterthought of aesthetically driven impulses.
The purchase won't be immediate as I still have a year to go of my degree prior to the head-first nosedive into the 9-5 joys of our existence. However, the funds towards the said purchase are slowly coming together and I need to figure out what to budget for.
Could I get some opinions on the practicality of such motorbikes (with a relatively small budget), suggestions of what further to look at and also experiences of ownership (things to expect).
Thanks in advance.
and before you point out my odd sentence structure, I'm a dirty foreigner.
