Common sense prevailing (Occasionally) best route for me to get back on a bike is a lightweight one until my fitness level is back up to handle the Speedy.
So if anyone knows of a roadworthy bike from 125-500cc up to £500 please let me know, nothing sports though, back won't handle that.

I have myself gone for an es 700. Not exactly an easy bike to ride. But light.

Both are worth a look, but both are also old and not exactly lightweight. A good tinkering exercise though if you want to wave the spanners about.

Anything at that price point is gonna need work.
If you can get one try an SRX6

Picked up a MK1 GPZ 500S ten minutes walk away from me, for £600, straight through MOT.
The bargains are out there.

Looks even tidier now Strom, spent a morning giving it a deep clean, didn't need any more time than that.
