thinkin about gettin a bike
nothing too crazy, it'll be the first time i ever have a bike, or even ride one. well i'm gonna get some training of some kind first then i'll look at gettin one. i'm leaning more towards something like a harley, something i can just take out and cruise around on, not a pocket rocket that i'll kill myself on. but i would consider some kinda pocket rocket that isn't too insane for a first bike. what would you guys recommend? it'll be something used, so whats a good price? i've seen some 2000's and things around that year that are around $5000.

To be honest with you, and a lot of people will agree with me on this, the best bike you can start out with as a beginner is japanese and has a 1300cc enigne.

03+ naked SV650 - should be around $3500-$4000, easy on insurance, easy on a beginner
try to take a MSF course before you buy it

if that thing only cost around 3400 brand new, then im ready to start shopping and planning for it. plus i wanna take some classes to get familiar with riding. this will probably be my toy to tide me over until i can get another trans am or formula. then double the pussy magnetism,

or not I picked mine up for right at 5,000 bucks including taxes with only 6000 miles. And noob? Ive been riding dirtbikes since I was 4. I currently own a 2005 ttr90, 2003 DRZ110, 2005 Yz125, and my 2004 CBR600rr. I have bought all of them with my own money. What do you have? And bandit95 a new 600rr will run you about 10,000 bucks.

yea but i dont have a whole lotta money. gotta get rid of some debt, and 3-4k will be just right for a good bike to get started with and cruise around on. maybe 5-7k but that just 250 looks too sweet for a new bike at that price.
