I've been looking for something different to use for the odd gentle ride out, jacket & jeans style - try to do it on the KTM but things normally get out of hand and I wish I was wearing leathers.

Looking to spend around a grand, Suzuki X7 being my first choice as this was my first big bike.

I've always liked the Starck designed Moto 6.5, don't know why, most people I know hate it. Not sure if it's the slimness of the design or perhaps a female art student who spent one summer riding a french registered Moto 6.5 around town.

Thought I'd have a look, they may even increase in value............too late, cheapest £2.5k, most well over £3k.

Whilst digging also found this, Starck designed X-Ray prototype from 1996 - 9 years before the SD.

Considering the style of the Suzuki Gladius and European interest in singles etc, were the designs ahead of their time?

Also any ideas of what I can buy??
