$3775! 😬

Is this right off 40?

Nope, she needs to take safety foundation class. @RidersDiscount hooked us up with Sena 20S dual pack and some other gear and we've done about 750 miles together this year. The house is selling and she wants to travel the country for a month or two, so my bike is actually for sale. Will get another as soon as we return and have her take the msf class.

$3800? Anyone?

Your bike next to a muscle car! 👍

Thank you good sir.

Gee whiz, I was looking at new old stock z125s this spring, couldn't find a local one for less than I believe $2900, was looking for something for my wife, but decided to wait.

What do you lube that frequently, the chain? I do chain every 400 miles, is there something else you should do regularly?

Very comfortable 600 with 3350 miles, well maintained, garage kept, new Dunlop Roadsmart 3s at 2700 miles this spring. Regularly washed and waxed. All fluids/filters changed last fall, oil just changed again this spring. Smoked windscreen, sequential integrated rear turn signals/brake light, rear spools, and USB power outlet. Needs nothing. Asking $3900, selling because I'm going to be traveling for a while and don't know how long it'd be sitting in storage.

Thanks, I think you must be thinking of Hartford, Utica has ice cream though! 😉

Well if you want to sell it down the road, gimmie a yell! 😏

I'd like to avoid buying new, probably looking $2000 or under, that way if she drops it, it's no big deal. I did look into the Z125, but ultimately decided something older and beat on would be best to learn.

Thanks for the idea and perspective. Like I said, no real rush, so maybe her taking the class beats me finding a deal I can't pass up. I can always store the bike and if she decides against it, resell it later on. I took the class and still have the manual, I'd teach her everything the right way and make a couple days of the small stuff. I definitely don't want to rush her and make her uncomfortable.

No, scooters are fine, too. I would take it slow teaching her and get her into the msf class asap.

I'd also like an old nighthawk for me if anyone has one they need rid of 😁

Hey fellas, I'm looking for a small bike to teach my wife how to ride, she doesn't yet have her permit, (nor can she get it with everything being closed) so no real hurry in finding something. If it's been dropped, that's great, she doesn't know how to work a clutch in a car or bike and it'll probably go down again. Carburated is fine, maybe an older Ninja 250, tu250, rebel, etc. Thanks!

Count me in!

@WalnutBread you're about 30 minutes south of me, we're both pretty green riders, should definitely meet up.

Looks like quite the adventure! Nice bikes! My wife and I plan on taking a van we're working on to see all the states as soon as the travel restrictions are lifted. Probably take the bike on a hitch mount.

Ok thanks guys, I'll message him and see what he thinks, maybe he can steer me in the right direction, too 👍

Holy crap, that's 6 months of car travel for me 😂

Wow, awesome! That would be great, I've had two sets of tires changed and wished I could do it myself both times. This last time, the shop damaged the paint on the back rim, too. I got Roadsmart 3s, so should be good for this year at least

Nice, maybe I'll start doing this! (With some actual tire change tools, don't have a truck and all the tools shown here haha)

Been trying for a while, my metabolism won't allow it!
