Can anyone help?
Hi Guys,

I wonder if anyone can help me out. I'm currently looking for a cheap(ish) 500cc bike (something like a Suzuki GS500, Honda CB500 or a Kawasaki ER500) and wondered if anyone knew of one that is for sale? It doesn't necessarily have to be a 500 (or even one of the models I've listed). I haven't ridden for a good few years (apart from my ST) and I don't want a sportsbike (yet)!

Got a budget of about a grand and am looking to try and get one within the next couple of weeks. If I can't find one through word of mouth I'll have to try eBay and Gumtree etc (which I'd rather not do)!
Let me know if you have anything or know anyone :)

Thanks in advance,

James

Look for a Yamaha Diversion 600.
Dirt cheap, bullet proof and an easy going engine with enough power.
The catch? Well, she's not really sexy... ;)

Ended up buying a Honda CBR250R, pick her up this afternoon! :)

Will post up some pictures later :)

As promised here are a couple of photos:





Done about 200 miles on it now and really liking it, it's the perfect commuting bike (what I'm using it for). Only mods are the exhuast, air filter and power commander :)

That's a nice looking bike, appears to be in great condition.
Have fun!
