Hmmm. Ideas for a second bike.

How about a FireBlade? Or a 'Busa? Or maybe a CBR125 or a Harley Dyna Super Glide or a KTM 640 Duke or a Norton Commando or even Triumph Rocket 3?

If you want something for commuting just get a cheap old 500cc commuter bike.

Yeah you dont need anything sexy, or mega powerful for commuting. Unless you do alot of high speed motorway miles then you dont need a fairing either. If you have a big fast muscle bike (V-max) for weekends and fun, then i would go for a nice clean, but cheap 500cc twin like the ER5,GS500 etc. They are probably the cheapest bikes to run on a daily basis, and 50bhp is plenty for commuting. If you dont ride too far or on fast open roads, then a smaller and possibly cheaper to run single is also an option, Honda Dominators, XT600's can be picked up cheaply enough for a reasonable one. A DR350 or XT350 might also suffice, or if it were me it would be possibly a TDR250, and thats as being as practical as i can lol!
