commuting on motorways on a bike

[floatindolphin]

HI,

My 1st post in this section, go easy on me.

I've just started driving to Manchester from Derby for work. It's a right pain and it's got me thinking how much better would it be on a motorbike?

Obviously the weather can be a problem but I don't mind riding in the rain.

What would motorway commuting be like?

Is filtering through stationary traffic ok? (legal?)

What type of bike would you recommend? Would I save a lot of money in petrol over a 2.0 VRS petrol Octavia?


Also, I need to pass my test, just reading the sticky thread at the top.


Sorry if this is all vague

Thanks

Thanks for all the info folks.

Forgot to mention it wouldn't be travelling every day. 4 days per week but staying up near preston one night a week.

I'll carry on thinking....
