Is this ridden enough?
Winter is a time of biking because you have to, not because you want to.
Once the last salt has been washed away and the air feels slightly warm, that's when the summer bikes come out.

That's about the size of it for me, if ide passed my car test I wouldn't so much as look at my bike over winter as i do not enjoy it in the slightest this time of year, the only reason i do it is it's a 15 min ride into work, the alternative is 2 buses & an hour of faffing about, bit of a no brainer really.

Well if there's a day to get the summer bike out for a ride, it's today.
12 degrees now, roads are dry and salt free, saw about 15 'summer' bikes (sportsbikes, Harley's) in the space of about 15 miles, even managed to a get bit of a confident lean on!!

It was actually in danger of being 'warm' today 
Nothing too expensive again, I think I’ll wait until I’m older and more settled before I have another 10k bike, I’ve got a lot of stuff planned this year and need to be more financially smart.
Something in the 3-4K area, no idea what that’ll be yet.

This will be much cheaper than my last bike too.

Well it is still warm here, 10 degrees.
However the sideways rain isn't quite the same.

Nah too unreliable going by your posts on here
If I can bag an MT-09 for less than 4K I’ll be happy.

MT09 for £4k, are they that cheap already?

The ones that haven't been recalled for rusting swing arms probably are

If you don’t mind 16k+ miles you can get them for £4K.
This is £4.7 but still a good price.
