my nc 700 cost under 6k, supposed to do over 70 mpg, Iv'e not had chance for a long ride yet, but I do like it, saying that I'd rather have auto than gears, they are just so smoooooth. The only alternative with the new engine... the integra,, wev'e already been there, design not up to much and 7.5k, :? I'll stick with the gears for now.

Even KTM are selling a 70bhp 690 Duke weighing 150kg approx for under £7K. Obviously a naked bike isn't my thing at all, but I bet its fun....in the summer anyway.

Kawasaki ER6F 2012. 650 twin, sporty good looks, comfortable and good weather protection. Pretty good on fuel and 120mph tops. £5999 OTR... with 2 year warranty with the option of another 2 years...

Quite frankly as much as I like the Tmax and C600 Sport the figures just don't add up. :?
Or the Suzuki SV650S for a grand less than the ER6F...

I'm very interested to find out how much the dct version is with all the added bling. I could see me getting financed up for that. 10 grand for the beemer won't be happening for me.
