Honda 90 - Fuel lasts forever in one of them, and if your lucky, a top speed of about 60mph!

triumph sprint or something similar - the triples have good torque so ideal for commuting

I was looking at a 675 Daytona and tbh, that's my current ideal bike but I'm looking at a 60mile each way commute potentially-bike makes sense but would have to be the right bike to be doing 120miles a day on but also need to be economic as I'm weighing up wether to get a room in a house share, rent a flat or just commute but all early stages

Only 46bhp you know? Rs125 is about 30 to put into perspective..

Shouldve made them 60-70bhp with restrictor kits available.. They only do 105ffs

I wouldn't commute on a bike. We do not get the weather and it is far too dangerous.

I did 90 miles per day for 7 years in a car and 18 months in a van. It becomes part of life!
