Winter hack wanted
matthewmosse:
I could add a different suggestion, old aircooled bmw twinshock bikes, my ex plod r80 rt was excellent on snow covered roads, those skinny tyres gripped like the proverbial and I used mine to cross the Brecon beacons road in th snow to vist my better half when she was in uni. it was rock steady regardless of weather and the fairing kept the weather off. Just check the switchgear and wiring is good as both my bikes had issues with both, despite being much lower milage than my cb500/4. Mine also proved capable of handling very well even 2 up with luggage. Sadly mine is in bits in a stalled rennovation so not fit to sell. Oh yeah, gearboxes are a weak point too, be sure to check it works right, they were clunky at the best of times, but again both mine needed major surgery - due to old repairs done badly.

Strangely enough I made an offer on a BMW earlier today, BMW K1200rs, bit different to the R series I know, anyway the offer was declined (because it was so derisory 😄), but yes the big twins are on the shopping list, anything is really provided it's cheap and in reasonable condition.
