Hi all,

Another newbie here - I'm Ben and I'm in Edinburgh. Nearly 28. Currently have a 650 Dragstar Classic, which I've had for just over a year since doing my Direct Access. A non-biker when I bought it, I failed to appreciate exactly what I wanted from a bike - having been into the cruiser idea since I was a kid, it was naturally the kind of bike I thought I wanted.....wrong! No weather protection, slow, crap brakes, crap handling, and uncomfortable for a 6'2" bloke. So, it's time for it to go, and I've figured out that a TDM900 fits the bill for it's replacement pretty well.

Intended use would be day-to-day commuting into the centre of Edinburgh, quite often twos up, the occasional weekend away up north or down south, and the odd sunday Borders blast with a CBR600-owning mate.
I want something that's easy enough to filter traffic, can take the wife and luggage, but can provide a good bit of fun out on the B roads.

So I'm looking around the older end of the market, maybe up to '04 for my budget. What would be the better compromise - newer bike with higher miles, or older one with lower miles? I suppose maybe it just comes down to looking at the condiditon of the bike, evaluating how it's been looked after etc.

This forum looks like a very helpful one, so hopefully I'll be a full-time TDM owner soon, and will be able to contribute my own £0.02!

Ben
