I’m looking for a bike for short commutes and green lanes. Electric start, not too big an engine (250-400cc), relatively light, in good condition, for around £1000. Have been saving up, this is my Christmas present 
Anyone selling anything interesting?

Daytona 955?
You selling it for a grand? 
At that price it’s either going to be old or small . Try searching for XT350 I would think that would be the best bet at that money .
xt350 doesn’t seem to have electric start. With my iffy knee I don’t want to be kick-starting all the time, don’t want to make it worse, I like skiing too much!
What do people think of this?

15bhp ? I think you might hanker for more , that’s going to be slow and dull very quickly .
the ccm 230s run the honda 230 engines and tbh are tiny tiny tiny you would be better and cheaper to get a dt 125. i love mine and offroad it can keep up with the big boys all day long infact with certain supermoto wheels i recall having to wait for the ktm boys.
i would say see if you can save up a little bit more and wait a little wile and get a drz 400. i just checked the prices and must say atm there crazy on all offroad style bikes i guess as its allmost snow time people are in high demand.
It’s not really a question of “save up”, it’s a question of what I’m allowed to spend ;-). I negotiated £1000 because when I started looking there were a couple of late model DR350’s with electric start going for about that kind of money. Now, as you say, everything seems to have gone up – although I didn’t realise it was because of the snow!
Drz 400 is nice dual sport bike, probably need bit bigger budget or find less then perfect one …

You think it`s too little, make an offer.
You buy LB heritage and gravitas and it knows it`s own way home.
For the right bike I’d probably go a bit higher than 1k - maybe even up to 1.5 if needed, but for a bike that really doesn’t need anything doing to it. That seems to put the DRZ out of range for me. I think even that one, with what it needs doing, will probably end up the auction at 1700 at least… 
Anyone on here selling a dual-sport bike?
i know someone selling a DRZ400 2005/2006 model 5k (ish) on the clocks. with on and off toad wheels, mot&tax, ok condition, carbon can company exhaust.
£1500
its a bargain, as far as im aware it has no problems…
i really want it but i dont have the cash! 
PM’s exchanged with Daws, here’s keeping my fingers crossed
FINGERS CROSSED!
Im actually excited for you… :blink:
Me too
Just to say, Daws1989 is an absolute STAR. Bought the bike, just got it home! Looks to be a very honest bike at a fair price. Gotta get it cleaned up and do a couple of things to it, then I’ll put up some photos etc. I’m frankly over the moon
Thanks Bret!!
