can't decide on which way to go!

[Itchy]

Which route do you think is best?:

Keeping the NTV650 as a hack and getting an NC35 (oh yes saw a lovely one yesterday), using the NTV650 as a commuting hack, and the NC35 as a weekend toy.


Buying the NC35 selling the NTV650 and using the NC35 everywhere (considerng i do 250 miles a week). (currently have back problem).


Forget all these old bikes and buy this fantastic 2003 Hornet I've seen, with 2K on the clocks. And get rid of the NTV and stop dreaming about that NC35.

any suggestions?

Thanks

With a hornet, you'd be filling up about 3 times a week. Fun bikes but for long commutes, they suck.

Go for the first option, even if it is a rusty old overpriced 400 that you want.

[Mr.Everready]

Which bike would you rather have the Hornet or the NC35 ?

Personally if I commuted every day I'd rather have an older bike for that and a nice one for the weekend.

Multiple bikes 'for the win' as they say .

Though I'd go for a NC30, not as overpriced and prettier .

First option sounds the best to me.

Spread the mileage over two bikes, obvioulsy the most will be on the NTV though, but your toy will last longer then.

If you bin either of the two bikes at least you'll have something to ride whilst you repair or replace it

I'm afraid that may well be true Reflex, Hornets do have a reputation for not having a good tank range, i knew someone that would average around 100 miles to a tank and that was taking it fairly easy.

88 miles seems a little low, but could be achieved if you really thrashed it i suppose

Keep the NTV and use the RVF as a weekend toy. In fact, I'm thinking of doing a very similar thing, albeit with an NC30...
