Any motorcyclists on here?

Just found this, a Honda Shadow 250. Worth a punt? Only £600.

Cycleops,
You may wish to consider looking at single cylinder bikes as they are generally lighter than multi cylinder. The Honda Cb250rs (1979-83) is a brilliant lightweight bike at circa 136kg. I don’t know if they are available in your part of the world. A good Japanese cg125 is also a wonderful bike.
Pictured is my old Cb250rs, now replaced with an unrestored model in blue.
Also, my BMW g310gs single.
All the best.
Kev

Thanks for that @Kevberlin I'm aware small singles are good but I've just got a thing for V twins, maybe because I had a Ducati a long time ago

For a lightweight v twin have a look at the Suzuki SV650. Not one of my bigger bikes, but probably the one I most regretted selling.

Thanks for the suggestion @Red17 . I've had a look and they're a bit out of my price range the ones available.

50's Beezer 350ohc single
Beezer 650 Gold Flash
Beezer 250 C15 SS
Honda 250 twin
Norton 650 SS
Norton Commando
Suzuki 750 3cyl "kettle"
Ducati 750 Darmah

Sold the last one to fund a new Mercian which my friend has now. Wouldn't buy another Moto.

Never say never eh?

Little Ducati 600 or 620 Monster would be a good choice. Nice gentle bike.

Triumph have recently brought out a couple of 400s https://www.triumphmotorcycles.co.u...MInt7akaCYhQMVmohQBh23Tgc8EAAYASAAEgL3sPD_BwE

Now if I were getting back into it I would have a serious look at that. And at around 5k it looks a steal.
