A year off and I’m thinking of returning.

Few quid left over to mint it up.

I remember riding one on the Cat & Fiddle back in my hooligan days. It was a right handful but loads of fun.

I think they look ace. A proper cafe racer and very cool...... just like you.

how about this sort of thing?

Is a Bonneville or Thruxton too commonplace for your liking? Plenty within budget.

I assume you've also been keeping an eye on The Bike Shed's classifieds section?

Moto Guzzi Griso, they are in the price range.

I wasn't aware of the bike shed. Thanks Ray.

Just perusing mainly at the moment.

I think the new royal enfield 650 is rather nice amd will likely sit around that budget

[Jarse]

Both new models look great Phil.

Interesting to see how they fair.

Nice styling but I'd be bored to death with only 47 BHP. The 70 BHP of my CB750 isn't enough.

Have to say, budget aside, the new 790 Duke is really looking the part at the moment.

looks great fun doesn't it
i have been waiting on a RRP.. hoping will not take the piss

[MOzZereLLa]

Sadly - I'll be surprised if it's less than £9995 OTR.

I have ordered a 1100 Ducati scrambler. The 800 is also better than you would think  and plenty of custom bits out there to make it yours

my old man has the little 400cc baby one, lovely little bike.. and he loves it
didn't even know they were doing a 1100!

I've just found my way back like a wondering tom cat that's found his way home lol.

Took time out after having an off lost all confidence on two wheels etc. but i'm back now and back riding.

Just got rid of the ZX6R and replaced her with a Z1000 R performance edition having serious problems with Kawasaki UK though i've not had my bike for 3 going on 4 weeks.
