Helpful Paul, thanks. But do you know what make of bike they are ?
Of course Legz, always here to help. It's a Quasar, Reliant Robin engine. Only problem is they are quite rare so maybe worth looking for something a bit more popular.
If you are seriously looking at travelling that distance a few times aweek then there are a few points you can consider.
One point, which a lot of motorcycle magazines have pointed out is that a lot of modern sportsbikes are quite capable of being used for long distance runs, tank range is adequate and they can be quite comfortable for long times in the saddle.
Negatives with sportsbikes I would say is their running costs (tyres,servicing,chains etc)
I would say you would be better off with shaft drive but a scottoiler could probably cut chain wear dramatically.
Handlebar or heated grips maybe beneficial aswell Legz, as would a tall screen.
I know alot of people rate the VFR750/800 aswell, but again servicing would let them down for me
If it was me doing that distance every day Legz I would seriously consider a BMW F800GS, plenty of power for what you want,more controllable in dodgy conditions than a sportsstyle bike and not as much to buy as its bigger brother. to top it off BMW will give you a test ride no problem so you can try the F800 and the S1000RR at the same time
