Pick a bike for me.
Well I have been thinking about buying another bike possibly next winter, I want to use the ZX6R as a project bike, I know its a runner so would be great to do a restoration on it which will take a couple of years as I do it in my own time.
Well I am thinking about buying another bike.
Lets see what peoples opinions are.
Me.
5'3 Quite short legged.
Bike must.
Be good with petrol.
Be upright.
Be good for having a blast on as well as commuting.
Cheap to run.
Must be 750cc or above.
Must be up to a bit of abuse and be reliable.
Brand unimportant.
Opinions?

Yam Mt-07 -check the seat height first. Why the 750 criteria?
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!
