Hey guys I need a bike which I can use for travelling to work and to the GYM and to town, but the issue I have is that I'm a tree surgeon, and in the Autumn and winter months it's extremely muddy on the yard, so I need a motorbike which can be used for off- roading but also on the roads with a 125cc engine, any ideas?

Tyre choice is what matters, not the bike[*].

Even that's not critical. Nick Sanders uses Battleax and ContiRoadAttack road tyres when going round the world on an R1.

Buy the best running bike that you can find in budget, put knobblies on it.


[*] don't get a cruiser.
