Economical Commuter

[CaptainSlow]

So an upcoming change is job means I have an excuse for another bike.

I currently have two bikes that aren't up to the job, a Daytona 600 (too thirsty) and a Sprint ST (too big and heavy).

Distance will be just over 30 miles each way, motorway/fast A road, through a town with filtering etc.

I want something light, economical (50 mpg+) that can keep up with traffic on the motorway. Thinking of taking a look at the new F310GS, any other second hand options?

Ok there is a limit, any other options where I can retain my soul?

Triumph ST.... Oh wait...

^^

Filtering should be fine on that no?

Probably would be but I want a new toy.

How about an older BMW F650..Dakar version, so I can look like Charlie.

Fair enough. How about an Africa Twin on PCP for a really shiny new toy.

This will be out in all weathers, I believe the AT starts to corrode if you ride through a puddle.
