SpOoKyWaTeR Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Hey guys! I'm looking to buy a motorcycle in the near future for transport. I want to know how much I should be prepared to pay for a used bike. I don't want a low seat or anything like that I'm looking for a speed bike ( Not sure if this is the proper term) regardless of the name I don't need it to go incredibly fast. I'm looking for something that is fuel efficient and can pretty much get me from point a to point b. Also any tips on beginning would be highly appreciated. Thanks! -SpOoKyWaTeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyHorse Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Starting out grab a honda cbr 125. Cheap used and good for learning on. you can usually find a good one for around 2k on craigslist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shot Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I would NOT recomend getting something that small as a 125cc. you will quickly grow right out of it and would want to get a bigger bike with more power. I also recomend looking into a motorcycle safety school, took one here in New York for 300$ and it was well worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's in Cali (i think) by law he has to XD Also most people I know say to start out with a 250 depending on your size/strength/skill.

Ehh iv spent a lot of time on the freeways and I personally think its needed after seeing a few cyclist face down on the pavement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two kind of riders, those who have fallen and those that will fall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyHorse Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 If you can find a cheaper 250 grab one by any means. the little kawasaki 250 ninjas seem to be great little starter bikes. Only reason i would suggest the cbr125 is cause the resell value on those things is really great, along with the fact that the bike literally wont let you kill yourself. I think it has a max speed of like 75 mph. Believe me I love Gixxers and by any means if you were an experienced rider i'd say grab a gsxr600, but seeing as you've got near to none i wouldnt touch something that fast and heavy just yet. Get used to the riding position of a sport bike first, get used to how turning works. Like anything it takes time to learn, but once you pick it up you'll have a blast whether you're on a 1200cc hayabusa or a 125cc honda, motorbikes are fun.

JuIcY Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Get a GS500 like I did to start out, learn on that thing, drop it, beat it up then when you feel like your comfy enough with that bike and done everything you can to get to its limits, hop onto a 600. Easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
