Tank Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Hi, I'm looking for a starter standard bike, don't mind too much about make and model as I'll be moving it on within a few months and I'm based in Cardiff, UK. Looking at a budget around £1000. Thanks. Edited July 23, 2022 by Tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Welcome. A £200 budget is unlikely to find anything that will last a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought as much, I'm happy to go more, any thoughts a decent budget and I'll make an edit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I'd say £1000 is the minimum you'd be looking at for something with an MOT etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onesea Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 At 1k I would look for Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha & Suzuki second hand, you might stretch your budget. Becareful buying Chinese they look good but don’t necessarily have the longievity of the big 4. You can do well but as is often is the case you get what you pay for… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHorton Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Used bike market is still quite high but you should be able to get a reasonable yam ybr or Honda cbf for that and get your money back come time to sell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynax Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Get yourself onto FB and join a few groups for the bikes you are looking for, there are usually members selling bikes for very reasonable prices, and much better than taking a your chances on evilbay or gumtree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
