Whats your winter hack?

[warped one]

AS said in the title. I'm just curious to what everybody is riding through the winter, and is it your summer bike aswell?

For me i'm currently using my 650, but am desperately after some pistons for my CB125, so the 650 can go in to hibernation until nicer weather arises.

Cheers

TDR250 atm, but going into hibernation as it has a few issues which need sorting.

It's getting replaced by a Aprilia Rs125, not very winter hackish I know but it was dead cheap.

Ta,
Jack

Still using the good old Bandit 600.

Hope it survives another winter sat out in the rain. *crosses fingers*

My CB probably should be my hack, but I enjoy riding it as much as the FZR, tend to use the CB500 on shitter days though, cos BT45s are a lot better than '14s in the wet, FZR feels a lot less fragile and likely to fall apart/explode than the CB though, and is better on petrol, so more practical. So CB for shit days/hooligan blats around town and through traffic, FZR for the daily ride on nice days and riding twisties. CB does long haul stuff too, cos I dont care about squaring off the tyres.

RVF atm, but getting a 2nd job to get some more cash and hopefully be getting a bigger bike, zx7r or cbr.

although none would be classed as a hack but they would withstand winter far better than the rvf which melts in winter.

I only have 1 bike so my winter hack is the Fazer 600. He has been ridden through 2 winters so far and is still behaving well.

Just the one bike, a CB500. Can neither afford nor have the room for more than one.

I've just bought me an MZ ETZ301 Saxon fun. I've now got four bikes! The MZ only cost me £300 with six months tax and 1 months MOT (it should pass a new MOT easily though).

Pics coming soon.

All year round bike I'm afraid.

Just bought a GPZ 305 for the winter, just doing a minor service on it before I put it on the road and to use, so at the moment, my 2008 R1 is my winter hack.

Riding my chinese 125 through winter even though I have now passed, and then looking for a bigger bike come spring, no sense in wrecking a nice bike over winter when I can wreck that!

[Aka Matt]

Using my 600 bandit seeing as i've crashed it I can't be flaffed to keep her looking good especially as I hear a ZX6R calling me as a fun bike for next year

[Wil]

Only have my S4 so that's what I'll ride. Was not fun riding down the M5 this morning in the pissing rain on a slowly deflating tyre - noticed it was flat as I left the house, pumped it up and it lost 16psi on the way to work Bah humbug.
