Ideal excuse to buy a scooter/moped I'd say.
I doubt 30 minutes would take a battery from flat to fully charged. I'd suggest parking it up and hooking it up to a trickle charger rather than doing really short runs once a week. Or if you're not taking it anywhere in particular, charging the battery up, taking it off the bike and storing it in the house.
Multiple short trips on a winter commute on a big touring motorcycle is probably the highest wear activity you could do. That said, I suspect the only real issue you're likely to experience is increased condensation in the oil and possibly mayonaise formation. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

My scooter is broken. Needs a small amount of welding and I don't know who to call. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

If you're going to keep using the bike for this purpose, you definitely want a dedicated trickle charger of some sort... eg an Oximiser or an Optimate - just plug the bike in each night. But if you stop using the bike for commuting, but leave it for several months without using it, then what you need is... a dedicated trickle charger. ____________________ KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS->R1250RS |
