Hi Hightower
I bought a cb500 ten years ago which was ten years old then with 10k miles on for £800.
Ten years on it has 56k on the clock lives outside in all weathers and has passed every MOT and apart from consumables the only thing i have done to it is put a starter motor from ebay at £40 on it.
It gives me no less than 55mpg and is great fun to ride.
Of course it is not the best looking but is like a flea bitten old dog and i love to bits.
It may not be your cup of tea but if you want something cheap very reliable it may offer what you are looking for.
Regards
