Hi guys.

This nice weather is giving me the bug again. And im meant to be saving for a house. But i could spare a little bit

Is it unrealistic to expect something semi decent for a grand or under?

Thinking about a streetfighter or something. Wont really be used much but must be able to take 2 people and don't want v twin.

What would you do?

Thanks Zach

I'd get on Ebay and look for something like a 600 Bandit or Yamaha Diversion. You should find a few for £1,000 and under :)

What about something like this for a street fighter project?

Should be able to dig up a half decent CBR or FZR old is not so bad if its been looked after, normally the older they are the more trick parts have already been fitted :)

If you have a bike in mind it might be worth going on the owners forums for that bike. I am on triumph RAT and there are a few deals to be had every now and then.
