I have done this myself to pass an MOT.. Removed it afterwards, at the time until I got something proper (although master cylinders for etz's have crappy aftermarket switches)..

Puffs, i covered about 400 miles on that 150cc and it easy maintains 55mph/5000 rpm. I'm done with big fast bikes. I was gutted to have to flog it. I bought a 2012 honda 250 to try n cheer me up. It didn't. I'm still sad. Then came the football. Its been a bad year and we still can't go on holiday. Moan.
i like little bikes that are simple.. but if you can have just 1 bike..
if its less than 400cc it is just a MOPED
my pick for daily driver is BMW r60/5 6 or 7 Dave
remember disk brakes freeze up when wet and sloppy so if you live where wet cold and sloppy lives drum front brake are best
