This is really far off topic, but I am going to college next year and I am wanting something that I can ride around on that is economical and fun. Or a chickmagnet . But I was wanting a motorcycle. Specifically more of a sportbike, I have never driven one, so I want one in between 500 and 700 cc. Any ideas? I don;'t want a brand new one, just a nice looking one. I am looking to spend around a grand, like I said it can be used. Anyone have any ideas?

PS. MOds pelase don't move this, I only really trust first gen guys.

 

Honda CBR F4, CBR F4i

Yamaha R6 (in blue)

u'll be pimpin all right, just don't go rev crazy, look cool not annoying.

 

hoiw much are we talking?

 

for a grand you arent going to find shit- maybe an early 90's 250 ninja and thats pushing it. sorry

 

how about if we push this up to about 2grand

 

In my honest opinion, the best possible beginner bike is a Yamaha FZR600 or YZF600, there pretty much the same. There fairly light, good power in mid-high range but not too much, look nice, comfortable, and fairly inexpensive for a used one. You should be able to find a 90-93 with around 10K miles for about $2,500. If you pay anyting less than $2K, it'll probably be a fixer-upper. Also know that milage on a bike is a lot different than in a car. 10K on some bikes is like 75K on a car.

 

I agree......hey Bub, what the hell is this mysterious mod anyway!?! When can i see it!?!?! when will it be finished?!?!....can ya give me a hint or show me part of it or somethin???

 

This one would be a good choice, economical, cheap insurance

 

Have you ever thought about asking jesse james to make you a custom chopper? That's the way to go! j/k I love bikes but could never own one, i would either be dead or in jail.

 

get a suzuki gsx-r. they are the most pimp bikes out there, and they are available in a 600cc variety

 

Sorry C.J., my lips are sealed, not even Chris knows about thios one, I finished it last night, it has taken me about 3 weeks to complete. All I can say is that it uses nitrous in someways . My own little invention, so far it has pushed me to keeping up with a 15.5 prelude. Pretty good fort a luxury car, over a second imporvement.

 

You must have alot of money.
S2000: +/- 32K
CL: +/- 20K
Bike: +/- 2K?
Mods: +/- 1K?
Should have just bought an M3 to begin with.

 

don't you have bills?

 

lol, I sure do, but I just turned 18

 

I have bills but I also live at home and make a lot of money at my job. This year I cleared 20grand working part time. Oh yeah and I am a cheapskate I save ALL my money for stuff I want to buy

 

I got my '93 Yamaha FZR for $3000 about 3 years ago. Single owner, garage kept, original paint/ plastic (never been dropped), aftermarket parts. I think that you can get a good deal, you just need to do the research. I waited 2 years to get a bike and got the bike before I had my license.
