steveGSXR750 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 A friend of mine just got a small settlement check and is wanting to find a bike. He's wanting to spend anywhere from $1500-3500. This will be his first bike so nothing to crazy. (600cc or smaller) Year/Make/Model doesn't matter. Thanks in advance, Steve!

Disclaimer Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 (600cc or smaller) Year/Make/Model doesn't matter.But does it have to be a sportbike, or do you really mean anything? There's a ton of bikes on craigslist - you can pick up really cheap old cruiser bikes all day long.Examples:http://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/995893834.html '93 Katana $1500http://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/995828805.html '01 F4 $3100http://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/995817477.html '02 R6 $2800 (cosmetic damage)http://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/995616240.html '78 CB550 $1000http://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/994995610.html '80 CB750F $1300Just hop on your local craigslist and you can have your buddy search for anything $3500 or less in the 'MCY' (Motorcycle) section.

xtremef4i Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 The F4 on craigslist that was linked to would be a perfect starter bike. Very comfortable riding position and Hondas are the easiest to learn on IMO due to the not so aggressive riding position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
