Once the snow starts to melt cl should be flooded with bikes. People might want alot for them too. Best time to buy a bike is fall and winter time. Spring you can find some deals but you have to be quick.

I would say a cheap f4i would be a good starter bike. Or any 600 rocket that is fuel injected. My first bike was a yzf 750 carb. It was a great starter bike but not built to wheelie. That bike locked up on me in the middle of a wheelie. What about a newer ninja 250? That would be a great starter bike that would be cheap to insure. f4i can be found cheap and some gsxr 600. Stay away from r6 unless its pretty new. I have a 09 ninja 650 at my work thats been laid down. You can buy that cheap. needs some love but would make a great bike

PM me a few details about what happened, and what would be needed to get it rideable safety and visually vise...

Thanks

I agree with the suggestions for a Ninja 250R; I had one back in high school for about a year and it was a very fun and easy to ride bike. The new ones have been updated to 300cc.

Seems like the Ninja 250's look nice ...carry the lowest mileage and best price...but cheap is not always good with most things...i imagine bikes are not quite different from anything else?

Looks like there is plenty of info out there and with key words the search becomes a lot easier Nice ! As far as when people start selling...few class mates as well as instructors were saying the exact same thing about timing the purchase. But even mid season through lots of kids will buy these spendy bikes ...and unfortunately lay them down as mentioned above...and the Gold minds are fully stocked again, which is interesting to me.

I dont quite understand how some cosmetic damage results in bikes being totaled when they are still perfectly ride-able and what not. Im going to have to spend some quality time reading reviews, and narrowing the search down. I liked the Honda civic of the bike world thats funny but sounds very plausible.

I would bring someone who knows about bikes with you to a sale though. That would help immensely. Check out that f4i he posted. That looks like perfect starter bike. Otherwise you will be using a 250. I forgot how good the new ones look now.

You won't be done wheelies so I wouldn't worry about the issue he had. I'm sure it had to do with the oil pick up and not having enough oil or something and starved the motor.

There is a lot of bikes to choose from as well as styling and riding style. Go sit on some at a dealership and see what you like best.

Remember, there are 2 types of riders...

Totaled because plastics are expensive! As well as other things that can be tweaked during a crash.

This might be a Stupid question, but i dont quite understand the 250 600 1000 number rating...sometimes i hear some ppl say CC sometimes i dont...is the same thing implied? If i was to use common sense assuming that CC still stands for Cubic centimeter...? the bigger the number the bigger the engine...? But than again size dosnt necessarily mean power in the world of cars? Is it different when it comes to bikes?

[tehehodi]

the bigger the number, the bigger the motor. More so the more power output.

I should of mentioned im a smaller guy....as in height and weight...strong i guess but yeah just being able to handle a bike makes a difference 2 dosnt it? Then again i see girls riding rockets every sweet once in a while! :cheer:

This is rather embarrassing but humerus at the same time...Never rode a bike haha....Sooooo how would I/one even test ride it or test sit it...LOLOL!? Im pretty mechanically inclined i could work on it and do general inspections and what not but static tests only tell you so much.... I guess i do have a few friends that ride but man....i didnt think about that part untill you just mentioned the test sit/feel some bikes...
