How about a wee Suzuki Marauder? I keep eyeing up a bobber for sale in Croydon on "Shpock", but have neither the money nor space at the moment. Cracking little bikes according to everyone I've encountered who's owned/ridden one.

If you're reasonably tall,maybe a Honda 125 Varadero..you might be comfier with back troubles as they have long travel suspension...not bobber or cruiser styling though,more Dakar style-ish...

I agree with jinx, its a more upright position on the varadero or similar, whereas a bobber style you are in a curved shape and would put a strain on the spine.

Looked at this Sinnis Terrain 125 on the Interwebnet....looks quite a cool piece of kit(like a mini Tiger800),just hope the materials it's built from are as good quality as most Honda/Jap Big Four makers...and don't expect too much from a 125 engine off-road, carrying you and luggage equipment...most of those roads on their video look quite gentle stuff...you pays your money,you takes your choice...but it looks to have a good riding position and decent travel suspension,get yourself a testride,maybe,Matty??Smile

Varadero 125 is the answer if your looking for a 125. Been about for a while so plenty about, good build quality is a given with Honda.
If you have a bad back cruisers are out, you need something where you can take some weight onto your feet.
