Nice Little Commuter

[Gemini]

Right, after some advice.

Colleague at work wants a bike, not too big as has been a few years since he has ridden.

Last bike he had was a Suzuki 380 (he is old though so i'll let him off)

Basically he has £800 to spend, wants something clean - ish, not too old.

He likes commuter bikes eg. cb400/500, gs500 etc.

Unfortunately he doesnt like Kwaks! Well green ones anyway.

I have little experience of commuter bikes. The honda cb500 is well known for being bullet proof, prolly cuz every bike school uses them!

Has anyone on here got, or know someone who is selling a similar bike to what i have described?

I reckon for the right bike maybe he would pay £1000, but no more

Or what about a red kwak? Thinking about this one myself instead of streetfighting my wrecked duke.

GPZ500s??

Commuter, 500, it's a kwak but I don't think they ever came in green (ours is black). Cheaper than a CB500.
