Default Got my 2-wheeled Honda. :)

Well, I have been into Honda cars for a while, had an 87 Civic Si with a B16, Now I have 91 Hatch with a 1.8 b-series, runs thirteens. Anyways, got myself another Honda, this is my first bike. It was $800, i wanted something that wouldn't scare me. I am loving it, its so damn fun to ride, every time I come home i have to take it for a ride. The best part is its fun for what it is, no damn swaps, turbos or any bullcrap, you get on and its fun. I know its not very impressive, but its fun and thats all i wanted. Anyways on with the Pics:

1995 CB250 Nighthawk. $800. 3000 miles. Insurance for 20 year with clean record was only 190 for the year

good choice!

this bike is very forgiving and will allow you to make mistakes and learn. I'm sure as you progress you'll find out what you want in a bike and make a decision for another bike later on or who knows, you may like this and stick with it. Best part about this bike is that it's a very cheap learner that still allows you to have fun.

Safe Riding

There is good reason that a lot of MSF classes use that bike. Excellent confidence builder.

Damn 3000 miles and $800! Seems like a pretty sweet deal.

Ride safe and MSF it up

Good bike and good deal. I bought a brand new '94 in '96 and put 13,000 miles on it before I got rid of it. Never had any problems. I wish I had kept it. Sold it to the dealer in '99 for $900.

Thanks people. Yeah I definitely wanted something good for a novice. Right now i'm just trying to get the skills down. I'm trying to get smooth with shifting and braking and overall riding.

That's what bike they use for MSF in this area. If that was an old MSF bike I'll bet it's never been out of 2nd gear.
