I'll probably have just under a grand to spend on a 'tard for the winter season. I dont really want to ride my SRAD in the lovely english winter (its polished and prone to rusting).

Any recomendations? I havent got a clue about motards :S

any really - get whatever you can for your budget...

unlike sportsbikes they actually look good brand new, muddy or scuffed - it does not matter.

where do you live again - get yourself down for a test ride.

JD racing leant me their 640 Supermoto Prestige recently when mine was in for a service, great fun even in the wet - just don't know why they have not taken off like in France.

Slightly off topic but dirtbike on road related:- Has anyone ever ridden with a Michelin rear trials tyre on the road, it's grippy as but the sidewalls roll so bad that the rear of the bike is constantly 6-8" inches out of line even when going straight - problem is that even when you shut the throttle it doesn't always come back. Looks cool though.

Yep, but will also step out when you brake - dodgy if you're not used to it.
