Sara_Rides Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Sort of anyway---so I was making a deal with a dude in Michigan to buy a 2000 Yamaha XT225 and today we got a phone call from the dude and he is frickin selling it to someone else becase they can be there tomorrow at noon and I was planning to rent a truck to pick it up but he is selling to someone else!! GRRR...I'm a little pissed off about it actually because I was REALLY hoping to be on two wheels by this weekend. So, I'm buying a truck....but in the mean time, any suggestions for where to look for a bike, what to look at and how in the HELL to avoid this issue in the future??

MattKatz Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Are you really wanting a Dual sport?I assume thats what that is?Why not pick up a nice used 600? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Does it have to be dual sport? There's a ton of SV650s out there that are GREAT beginner street bikes.Cheap, parts o' plenty, proven reliable design, half decent looks and power, comfortable...

Ron Burgundy Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 i have a gsx-r 600 for $5500 if ur interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara_Rides Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Well, the this is with the dual sport...yes that is what I really want, and the reason behind it is because I want to trail ride, like I do on my TTR, plus my fiance rides dual and I want to be able to go where he goes. Like I said, I want a sport bike too, but my price range is limited to like $1,500.00...My dream sport bike is the Glaudis...but I want the dual sport first so I can still go off-road, I just love the trails...

Artmageddon Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Are you you keeping your dirt bike? If so, do you really need the dual sport? A little bit more of a pain to haul when you want to ride trial, but like a few others have said the SV 650's are really nice bikes if you can go a bit past your budget. Pretty close to the Gladius you like. I bet if you got a street bike you would be on the road more for a while anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara_Rides Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I do love the dual sport gladius, but for the kind of off roading I'll be doing I'm not sure it will work out it is a mighty beautiful bike though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
