    Recently got my full A licence and looking for a cheap fun bike, sit up position not a racer. 600cc or more. Ideally a Fazer, Bandit, STR ( :) ) or anything considered. Offers and suggestions welcome.

    I have a mate at work who has a VFR800 (pre-vtec ... Better in my opinion) that he used for commuting before he got a car... It's sat in his garage and he keeps threatening to sell it . He'd sell that for less than 1300 I recon

    Pm me if you want more details

    Live forever or die trying

    Have you thought about a Firestorm? Loads of V twin fun for less than your budget. And the sound is awesome.
    Lots of peeps have them on here and really rate them, I know I wouldn't sell mine.

    It's just a tag line, was originally from the Mary White House experience comedy show, a character used to say it, and I drink like 4pints of milk a day so it's just something daft to say. I forgot it was on there as it automatically adds it to my posts

    Hi Paul, I'm selling my zx6r F for £950 if that's something you'd be interested in? If so, I can email you the details. Located in Bolton and can trailer.
