Wanted: Cheap bike

[aisgsimon]

Following the write off of my old tank am currently looking for a cheap bike (~£800), willing to wait for the right one/price as I'm cash poor but time rich to quote another on here. Not too fussed what it is but would prefer something easy to self maintain/minimum maintenance/reliable. Something functional is fine as I'm no racer, I just use it for occasional commuting/leisure/minimal touring

Thanks, I might go have a look, though its a bit more than I was looking to pay but cheap for the year. Besides, would like to avoid VTEC if possible.

you won't find much cheaper than that min, thats what i paid for my T reg with 20K on it from down south. Last of the pre VTECS.

[aisgsimon]

Aye, but the top of my budget is inflexible and its not at £1600 unfortunately

[Coully]

fair enough, sorry to hear about the tank

[aisgsimon]

I was for a while, but the possibility of something a bit more modern and nimble has taken over. Am looking at stuff down south, VFR's and others. Missed a cracker in Manchester going for cheap on a private sale. But thought I would see if anything was going locally. I Don't mind travelling to get it so lots of options.

why avoid the vtects Simon? Just asking out of interest.

[aisgsimon]

A. Price (newer bikes= more money )
B. I don't ride in a style that would take advantage of the VTEC system fully.
C. I kind of like older machines with less electronics, less to go wrong/fix

Check out the for sale section I'm selling a W reg ZX6R in track trim just now but could easily be put back on the road if you have time to do it and is right on your budget if mot'd it'd be worth twice as much I just do t have the time
