whaler Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Son has become board with the 250 and looking to step up. Looking for 600 like the following types of bikes. Insurance needs to be reasonable. Yamaha FZ6, FZ6S, YZF600R Honda CBR F3, F4, F4i please keep a look out, or if you having something decent collecting dust in the garage let me know. he is working with a budget of $2200.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ended up finding a nice YZF600R that is clean and unmolested. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably wouldn't have ridden one at his age either. It wasn't cool enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with a buddy of mine to pick up a bike and he was "hiding" it at his neighbors from his mom. Once she realized it was his she kicked it over ?... My dad rode my whole life but wouldn't let me get my own bike until I was 18 (I had a couple off-road bikes though but never a street bike until he passed and I got his vmax) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 So weird. My parents helped me search craigslist and even drove the truck and trailer to pick up my first bike. Heck they harassed me to get rid of my dirt bike and buy a street bike when I was in high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad had a bike and got my mom on the back once. Shes a nurse (nuff said). So basically when mom said she didn't like motorcycles my dad followed suit. BUT when mom is away the cats will play and he took my old 600rr around the block a time or two when she was out shopping. My mom didn't kick mine over. She went with the try and make him feel guilty route (which normally works) but she soon found out it doesn't work on me with motorcycles or motorcycle related activities. 30 minutes ago, JustinNck1 said: So weird.

I'd love to ride with my dad. But as long as my mom has a say, he's not getting anywhere close to two wheels.
