    Commuter bike? Help!

    Heyas,

    Now im contemplating a slight move, which will take my daily commute to 110kms a day, there abouts.


    i dont want to clock up that many miles just on getting to work on my dual purpose beast.

    so i'm after some suggestions for a good good reliable commuter



    Wants:

    cruise at 100-130 happily, enough power on slight hills.
    Economical !!!
    Would gear it to be bit longer in leg if need be without sac'ing accel too much

    And Comfortable !!! - willing to add givi screen

    Just trying to get some ideas, i know my zxr250 wasnt terribly economical, and the 400 wasnt either


    i was thinking something like a cb400 or such, but please, give me plenty of ideas!

    Hey man,

    I don't recall what license you are on, but any of the hyo's do over 60mpg and they look good and are great fun. Just don't tell anyone on KB you have one.

    "I did axactly as you said and it worked...!!"
    "Wow, Great advise there DB."
