All 3 of the bikes in my garage were picked up in this price range and I gotta say I have 3 damn nice bikes in my garage. All bought with less than 10,000 miles. Fuck all the little nit pick shit. Get something solid and unweathered you can jump on and ride. Lots of changes can be made down the road. Good luck. I thought it was good that he found the leaking fork seal. A rusty chain isn't a good sign. It just sounds weather beaten. Owning for only a year, I don't know if I'd want to deal with those issues. Yeah, just need to grab something and gain experience to have a better frame of reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qman Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 I know my brother-in-law would be willing to sell my old 2000 VFR 800 interceptor (yellow) for way under $3000! Only got like 80k miles on her! Seriously, it would probably be a really good bike for someone...Racetech forks and springs, and Penske shock setup for a 200+ pound rider. Givi 21 Liter panniers included. Here she was back in the day... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt! I miss my VFR! I had a TBR exhaust can on her. Had several people ask me if it was a V8! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiro Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Why do my bike posts keep getting removed? Not that it matters, it's just that I don't get people's thinking some (most) times. heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschaf Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Back to the original post. I recommend a 1000cc rr for a starter bike for the OP only. This thread is driving me knuts . In the process of selling my CBR in this guy's price range. He could buy it & in a short time we'd never have to hear from him again. Nah. Couldn't do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiro Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 And...they're gone. Is yoshiii even around any more? I guess this isn't a very noob-friendly place. (Is @Isaac's Papa the official noob hazer? heh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that would have been a nice hook up probably. I get that it's difficult to drive around to look at bikes without a car though. Like he's stuck on a little island and just getting together enough cash for some decent options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the whole scenario just doesnt add up to make any glimmer of common sense. No car/no transport/but wants bike/ summer about to end etc etc To use your own simile "ship wrecked and stuck in an island with canoes boats ships all around but waiting for a jet ski" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about giving up my old car before I move, but it almost doesn't make sense to only have a bike in a new state with no job. Especially since it will probably be in October. Anyway, I would wait to ski behind a jet ski, so I'd have to wait for the jet ski AND the skis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
