Cheap, Reliable, Bike?

[prowler]

I need a good reiliable around 400/600cc for around a grand but can only think of vfr nc30/ old gsxr 600 any others that are very reliable?? That's my main priority at the moment. I'v had it with shit scooters.

[McGee]

Any bike will be reliable if looked after.

And I highly doubt an nc30 for 1000 is gonna be reliable.

Grand is my budget atm i'm not looking for something mint just something to get me around on and that's not going to break down everytime i get on A roads. (Preferably a sports bike type also).

Cb400, bandit, sv, gs500, fazer if you can grab one for a grand. Gpz's come rated too.

From reading on here and other websites and reviews I established that a 'boring commutery bike' is a boring commutery bike because they are generally simpler, less stuff to worry about and they wouldn't be commutery bikes if they weren't reliable enough. Semi faired or naked 400/600s seem to be alright. Sports 400's I wouldn't think so. The term for them I think varies between shagged and ragged, but it means the same.

not trying to take the piss but is a grand a cheap bike in todays standards???? To me i cant imagine spending a grand on one, saying that look what i ride..... Still my budget for a new bike is around 300-400 quid....

[mad4it028]

the words reliable and sport dont go in same sentence for under a grand

Thanks for the replies peeps bit of a premature thread as i'm having to get my currunt ride repaired, but think i will go with the gsxr as that's the only bike i like for around a grand or 2 budget.
