So as luck would have it I had a "incident" on my Ducati Scrambler. Insurance will be paying out for it to be fixed, but while waiting I am considering buying something as an absolute tool to commute with. My requirements are as follows:
Not more than R70k
Light on fuel
Tyre sizes which can be acquired at reasonable pricing
Should be able to do at least 140km/h (Commute between Centurion and Sandton daily)
ABS would be welcome

Currently the bikes I am considering are as follows:
KTM 390 Duke
Honda NC700/750
Hero 200 (Don't know if this will do 140km/h)

Any other options you could recommend? Looking at buying second hand so if it is readily available, that would be a bonus.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and input.
