Reccomend me a bike..

[_Iain_]

Other halfs decided to have the YBR off me.

Basicly deal goes as thus - £1k upfront, the other £800 on some sort of finance agreement that i'll probbably never see

So, i then have around the 1k mark for a reliable courier hack, Although can probbbly find a few hundred extra as i'd been budgeting that on some 2nd hand hard luggage.

33bhp restricted, so that takes the pan euro out of it. Deauvilles, possibly but a bit difficult to get in my budget. Thinking about the 500 twins? specificly the CB & GS. Gs is cheaper insurance, however the CB is a honda, and screams reliabilty at me, although this might be a misconception.

Luggage wise though for the GS/CB i've not seen many of the triple box setups like i've seen on the pan euro's. Whereabouts, how secure, and how much?

Much appreciated!

This bloke put hard luggage on his CB, I've seen a few other people on that forum say that they have done it, but can't see any more pics in the gallery.

I assume it's a matter of finding a suitable mount, and whacking standard boxes on?

EDIT: Would this be suitable?

You probably wont sit out the restriction so do what mate did, buy GSXR, nearly write it off and buy a Pan

Why not get it 33bhp? Sure it'll be a barge but it'll still go a heck of a lot faster than a 125.

33bhp on a pan, bearing in mind it's a big heavy bike anyway, it's also a whacking great 1100 engine that's not going to take kindly to restriction, and i plan on loading it right up all day every day?

Idk, im not convinced it's a brilliant idea! Maybe the deauville restricted as it's a 650, and a V-twin, and i know twins tend to restrict quite well. But even that's pushing my luck.

You can restrict a GSXR1000, no reason not to do it to a pan...although I never got asked for proof of restriction...even when I crashed, irrelevant now but I've not known anyone to get butt raped for not being 33hp

[londonfilmmak...]

CB500 all the way.

[_Iain_]

CB500's a safe bet if i can find a goodun then.

What about the xj600 diversions? I see loads about, ebay restrictor kits availible, and suitable luggage conversions.
