Have to agree with all of the above........I was gonna say a toaster tank BMW, but recall getting kicked out of a staff meeting at work for smelling like gasoline. Story similar to what Jerry said.

I had two old Norton Commandos that checked all the boxes, EXCEPT....after 15 minutes of riding, my Nutz tingled and bothered me to the point of heading back home......The 750 Bonneville wasn't much better. When talking about any old Brit bike, the work Crude comes to mind.

I've got lots of early, mid-70's Jap bikes, but most don't see those as "Classic" just yet.....

Go the route Choc did if he must.......If new to riding, get good training, gear and some experience.
