It looks like a great bike. But as a daily driver? I don't know. It almost looks to nice to drive to work and leave where someone is going to steal it, esp if it is a classic bike. And then how would you feel about leaving it out in the weather, rain, snow, etc, that inadvertantly shows up? I would recommend against it only because it is to nice to use as a second bike. And the other thing to consider is parts. They can be hard to come by if you need a repair.

I would recomend something that is a bit more late model. 650 is about the break point for good gas milage. Once you get into the 750's and up you are going to find that your gas mileage will go down with weight and power. I would stick with the Honda's and Yamaha's because of reliability and parts. Good luck and let us know what you do.

A fellow rider.
