I'm looking at getting a second bike too. Something that will be able to do the 172 mile daily commute that I have occasionally when I'm doing bigger work on the Wee. At present I'm leaning towards a Royal Enfield Bullet Classic, I found a place near me that can arrange a test ride when I have time some weekend. I'm still having a look around though and I'm open to other options.
ps. I like the Fazers
a nice sunny day no main roads .. time of no issue ..the enfield will do a job for u
piising down with rain dark ... cold don't go there
I use mine occasionally for work but the above applies
lights and front brake weather protection poor
strange thing but for commuting just use the wee mines knocking on 50k up and runs perfect can't think of anything better for the job I ask it to do don't see why it won't do 100k ...feed oil rack miles simples
you have a bike that you know has been looked after not abused or dropped .. look after it and it will turn into your second bike itself
may be sorry I said that but ... so far so good .. it will take a lot of hard shitty work without complaint
mines a 07 I have a spare engine off ebay 4300 mile up on the garage bench complete with everything injector banks the lot ...take out put in ..cost 350 quid plus 70 quid delivery
can't see why id need it yet but whas a with that mileage worth ?
turn your wee into the hack
