Moving 30 miles from work, commuting??

<< < (2/3) > >>

Si-10R:
A cheap to run commuter an old CB500, BMW F650GS. The bimmer frame is mentally good on fuel. 200 odd miles to a tank. Stupidly comfortable and has heated grips. They ride the fookers round the world so cannot be that bad. I had the second gen for a while and loved it.

Kaos Theory:
I've been commuting on sportsbikes for years, this year is the first time I've had heated grips on a bike, before that, decent gloves made all the difference.

Wellerman:
I do long commutes and work away from home up as far as Northumberland from kent and have always had diversion 900s...on my second one now and wouldn't have anything else as a hack/tourer cheap as chips comfy no chain and it will do 200 miles to a tank mines on 60k miles and engine is sweet as a nut

When I worked in the UK my commute was year round on a ZX10R albeit 20 miles each way and a combination of A,B and motorway, winter was a ball ache but as I worked shifts and sometimes finished at 2am the ride back from work was interesting  [whistle]

It was always a better proposition than taking the car as I had a large bike garage often all to myself  :headbang:

The ZX10R is always more economical than a car IMHO,

Depending on the type of roads, just be careful in the winter as you have and expanding family now  [pray]
