Then I see how cheap they are, start looking but end up reading about cracked sub frames and running in services and you end up needing to spend twice as much as you wanted
Really I'd like a new one, but that ain't going to happen until they're tired.
Then I think 'm5' and the whole cheap to expensive battle happens again and I end up doing nothing about it.
Sometimes wish I was as spontaneous as I was when I was younger! Money in pocket.. 1st cossie I look at bought, spend months throwing cash at it
It depends what you class as fast.. It wont feel as fast as a well set up cossie as it doesnt have that 'kick' but you will get to 100mph quickly.
If you do your research you can get a well looked after one that has had the running in service etc. Mine is a 2004, got nearly every option, 60k miles, brand new brakes all round and just been serviced and paid £10k for it.
Dont be spontaneous about buying one though as you could end up with a complete shitter and yes you will spend loads on it.
