As some of you know, I am not a great fan of Italian bikes but I spotted this on ebay and it sounds like a lot of metal for less than 2K.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/APRILIA-ETV-C ... 3ceaf87ba6
A mate had one of these but it was nicked. He liked it but didn't by another. Mind you, this one is newer and appears to be have been "tweaked" a bit.
If I had 2G's floating about I'd be right on that. Spares a bastid to get hold of in terms of waiting for them to arrive,but as a 2nd (alright 5th) bike I could deal with that.
Very nearly bought one a few years back Tone. Had a good test ride (I had a vara at the time). Remember being impressed with it. Handled very well. As said spares are the issue but if it is a nice one.
