Reccommendations

I've been riding my 125 on a CBT for 3.5 years now just for fun (I have a car I use for work).

I've decided I want to 'level up' and have my full licence booked in for next week (second attempt).

So (assuming I pass this time) what recommendations do people have for a good quality commuter bike?

60 mile round trip including the m5 into Birmingham and I need space to carry at minimum a laptop plus bits and prices in case it chucks it down and I need spare clothes for work. Not fussed about top speed or name recognition etc etc, this is just a tool.

Gonna keep the 125 for town riding local to me and I have a 350 Norton from 1961 I'm gonna use for weekends and fun.

Suggestions please!

30 mile commute? Fuck that! I hope you are hybrid at least

Motorways can be a mile a minute, not a long commute

Nope. The commutes fine though and not the worst I've had.
