    Ride a GS500 then ride a CB500..... I promise you'll never want to see the GS again. That plus when I was thinking of buying one I went to see quite a lot, they were all utter turds, corroded horrible messes, even the low milers with plenty of receipts on close inspection were grim. I went to see one that someone had at some point chopped the back off, another owner had then rebuilt with what actually appeared to be meccano.

    It's got near a years MOT, so only real priorities are indicators (£10 for some cheap universals) and fork seals (pig of a job but if you DIY then maybe £30 and a couple of hours time). Speedo cable is 2 minutes and a replacement cable (under a tenner).

    If you wanted it to look cosmetically better then it's just waiting, watching eBay for the fairings it needs and then a few quid on rattlecans.

    It's not the best as a ready to go hack from the ones I listed, but as a rolling project to use as a hack while working on it, it could be good. It just wants to see a little £ spent and a fair bit of time. End result could be a fun, cheap toy.

    I reckon that gsx750f might be a shout. The fz6 looks a bit out of my depth. I know it's basic stuff but I'm a bit special
    I don't even ride with stabilisers. And what?
