Trident, then the Honda.

If you can't have fun with 70bhp, you're doing something very wrong.

That’s not the point, the point is if you can’t find something more fun for the same money then you’re very very dull indeed ;)

MT07 or Z650

TBF, they are probably much of a muchness but I've ridden and loved an MT-07 and have always wanted one of the Kwak Z's !!!!

I know what you mean and my Monster 1200 is probably about the same money as one of those, but if you need a new commuter and only have a £100/month budget, its a lot of fun per £.
