For 'round town commuting, the best tool has surely got to be a reasonably sensible supermoto, like the japs build (not a KTM etc).
I get my Monster back at last this week and I'll be back to doing 50-70 miles a day around London. I agree with the ones who say a used Ducati (with a bit of spanner tickling to keep it on song) is better than one that only comes out on sunny Sundays. Not using it will kill the cam belts quicker than using it every day, I'm sure, due to them moulding to the shape they're in on the sprockets. I bought the Monster so that I could twiddle spanners every now and then as for me that's part of the involvement of bikes, so it suits me fine.
