You can use water it won't boil because the cooling system is pressurised so the boiling point is raised but water corrodes metal and freezes at too high a temperature so you shouldn't use it on a road bike

That's a shame on such a clean bike. A set of used pipes off ebay should sort it out for not too much. You might want to change the thermostat and rad cap as well in case they are rusted.
Before you put new coolant back in after getting things sorted i would seriously advise using some RadFlush to give the internals a good clean up.
