Hello From South Wales! Project Advice Needed! :D.

Hey guys and gals!

To cut a long story short, i recently bought a new cbr500r, and whilst its an amazing little commuter, it really doesnt have a personality or give me that feeling.....

So, im going to buy an older monster (of some sort) In a project state, and rebuild her for next summer.

What would you buy? Ive got 1000 to spend on the bike, No mechanical knowledge, but im a fast learner .

I was thinking an m900, but there are so many varients out there that its a bit boggling....

Cheers! Joe
