Well, did a punt around the excellently friendly Bike shops in the area - Prices for this style of bike a very firm at the moment - big demand due to the down turn as people look for cheaper commuting. Tried a little Honda 125 scooter - claims a 130mpg - with its own stop start system...! Performance on the A55 was too poor as I guessed it would be. Nearly did a deal on a Honda SH800 (250) before common sense kicked in. Went to see the Majesty. 7 years old with 7k on the clock - rides like a good one - seems ideal with 70 to 80 mph and 60 to 70 mpg available. Keeps the miles down on the GS and the 3 Series and lots better economy and a hoot to drive as well.
