    Any recommendations on these guys? I've seen a road legal one for sale (day time mot). Is it a waste of time for a little commute to work?

    Any advise very welcome

    Well as you know it a Motocross bike.
    Very low geared you won't want to be over 60mph for long, no electric starter, titanium valves so clearance every 2k and they won't last forever. Oil change every 500 miles.
    Otherwise it's an absolute hoot to ride. Super Moto wheels even better.

    Sorry if it sounds like a downer but better the devil you know.

    Thanks Broadie! Yes, I did think that might be the case. I wanted something cheap and fun to do a 10 miles round trip commute through traffic and seen this for sale for £1250.

    Through traffic? With that you could choose to go over :D
