Just over a grand would get you a lowish mileage 600.

Honda CBR600F, pick em up dirt cheap, the best motorcycle ever made. Bulletproof. Can do everything on them, tour, commute, track days.

The 600 are nice, and you can get them cheap. Their attraction is they are good at most things and not so powerful they will get you hurt or banned too often.
Second owner tends to be/act like a hooli, so give any you come across a good once over.

Even from a dealer, buying a £1000 bike is always caveat emptor.
