I have been without a second bike for a while. Old Japanese 250s might fit the bill as a winter hack.
Anybody know anything about this model?
Yamaha srv250 http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/yamaha/yamaha_srv250.htm
PS: hack in Yurpeen does not mean a sidecar outfit. It means an old piece of shit that remains usable.

By appearances, it looks to be a powerplant that would some day grow up to be a Virago.  Did that thing ever made it to the 'States...? http://www.srv250.com/ |

Lots of cool stuff. I rather like the Honda Hornets. That is changing, though. We're getting the naked FZ8, which I didn't expect, and the Super Tenere, which, hot or cold on its reception, is still a risky and cool move to bring over. |

Yes.
Over here some knucklehead would have it on eBay for $1500 extoling the virtues of its awesomeness and power and (granted) rarity, and "PRICE IS FIRM NO HAGGLE PLZ THX".  That's gorgeous. |

That bike is far too nice to ride in salty slushy English summers winters.
Get it, butt then also get a real hack.

That's a sweet little bike!  I've never seen one of those over here, are they common there in the Olde Country? |

Common sense prevailed-it was too much of a toy. So, no.

Common sense? You guys still use that over there? How's that workin' out? Over here we mostly have knee-jerk reaction based on whatever's easiest right now and damn the consequenses.  |
