Hello,


I'm hoping you can help me. I'm looking for my first motorbike for short commutes around Bristol and the odd mendips country blast in the sun. I'd like a scrambler type bike, but with £1000 tops, preferably half of that if possible... I'm after any recommendations of what to look out for on ebay. To compound the problem I know nothing about bikes or mechanics, so pointers, or bulletproof bikes preferable!!


Having had a read about I'd love a DRZ400SM or a KLR650 or a custom SR400, but all are out of my league, so any other suggestions welcome!

Pop into newbies and introduce yourself. We like people who say hello :wink:


And you want


Honda CB500

Honda XR - Any size above 250cc

Suzuki GS500

Kawasaki GPZ500

Kawasaki KLE500

Honda Transalp - Old version


Any of these I've seen around the £500 mark.

I just bought a running GPZ500 for £200 and even a FZR600 that just needs a gasket change for £600 :thumb:

Thank you Fozzie,


They all looks a little heavy, bar the XR, so I'll keep an eye on that!
