Another what bike question...

[frazer1981]

Since my varadero was stolen 3 weeks ago and with my insurance pay out due into my bank account on friday i think it's time to start looking at another bike. But what??

It has to be reliable,
good on fuel,
and be able to withstand a 54 mile commute everyday.

I have looked at getting another varadero, but a part of me wants something different this time, and i have 2.5k max to spend.

Any ideas??

Another varadero unless you are not looking for something nippy. Are you?
Believe me you don't wanna ride a naked bike in the winter

The bike i had was a varadero 125, so the next has tobe a 125 as taking my test is not an option as the bike is my only means of transport and i need to get another quick.

I'd get another Varadero if I was you, no other 125 is going to cope with the mileage as well.

This time lock it to something immovable.

Cheers

I have seen a hoysung gtr 125 that i really like the look of, but i am put off due to it being a bike i have not heard much about. Has anybody on here had experiance with them, and are they reliable??



Orrrrrrrr should i just stick with another varadero????

GTRs are great looking bikes (IMHO) and nice to ride...but are slow. My aged RXS100 sees them off without much trouble. If you can live with that, excellent all round bike.

why dont you get a cg, cheap one, then do your theory, and test? Then after xmas or something buy a big bike and sell the cg
