right ive just got an sv1000s now the time has come for me to make up my mind wether to sell my old cb500 or not, its a 99 bike with 28k on the clock in good working order.

now i was thinking would it be better/cheeper for me to just keep this bike and use it to comute 4 miles to work and back every day on, or should i sell it and commute on my tire munching sv?

i would like to keep both but cant make up my mind so you lot can do it for me.

I commute daily on mine (650), usually an entire days commuting is only around 6-8 miles but i do do ride it all the time every day all year round. No problem with it tyres wise, and a bit more fun to commute on.

If you can afford to keep both though why not keep them, unless you want the cash for exhaust system etc

i have been commuting on my sv, but im a heavy fisted nob and have no restraint when it comes to speed limits and by how much i break them, i fried my rear tire on sunday on a 300 mile ride. i have enough cash to keep both if i insure the cb tpft

and to be fair the cb is a commuting tool.

4 miles? Sell the CB, use a bicycle.
