Having some random "might buy a bike" but don't wanna finance or have a lot lying round in terms of wasted cash.
So with a roughly £1500 budget... What are you seeing.
Needs decent leg-room and riding position, nothing too sporty. It'd need to be capable enough of a Sunday morning jaunt out with @G.P and @IanB but wouldn't necessarily need to do a trackday
The same Z750 that I put in the £2K thread, but you don't like 4 cylinder bikes, in which case buy an SV650, I don't like 4 stroke twins, but an SV is almost acceptable, they're just a bit dull.

With the criteria of being a cheap Sunday plodder or a trip to the shops bike, a 4 cylinder wouldn't worry me.
For that money you're stuck in the bandit, sv650, vfr, sprint, firestorm territory. I think that I'd be looking at a vfr as it would be mechanically the most interesting, could do pretty much anything you ask of it and there must be a ton of parts around to make it look and feel less leggy.
If you want a SV650,the Gen 1 'Curvy' versions are carbs & the Gen 2 'Pointy' is fuel injected.If you look hard enough you can get either version for £1500.
FB have a group called 'Used motorbikes running & under £1500 UK',you might find something on there.

I was going to suggest that group it's aces, but Mr Weeks is allergic to social media.

I'm not keen on social media myself,but sometimes it's a neccesary evil...

An MVX250. If you knocked £100 for every month it's been listed on Ebay it'd easily be under budget, Not by enough to pay for the rebuild it needs though.
I can't find anything else unusual in your price range.

LOL that's a very random post.... it's over double the budget/thought.

A CBR600 is the answer to most of these questions. That VTR is interesting too, I loved mine and would have another.
Troo dat. Not the most exhilerating bike out there,but it'll get you where you want to go. 1300 quid?
