I have just started a new job after being unemployed for a little while.

after a few months I hope to buy a sports 600, but in the mean time i'm going to be struggling as there is no public transport on the way home and the job is 14miles away.

what dirt cheap bikes should I be looking at? I'm after anything so long as it only a couple hundred quid.

.

The point on looking at cheap bikes is to, well, look for a cheap bike... so do your searching based on price and see what is up for offer.

cg125, gs500

Two cheap bikes generally

CG125 with kickstart - Exceptionally reliable and you dont have to worry about draining a battery if you find it doesnt want to start somewhere (Let's just say... the hire bike i borrowed wasnt great)

GS500 - Mine was shite but good cheap and they go on forever generally

Both can be picked up from £200 - £800 fairly easily
