what kind of motorcycle could 3500 get me
it would be my 1st bike


dosnt have to bee a honda,
i know it wont be new casue if it was 3500 for a new bike, then im sure it is a peaice of crap


i like tha yamaha R6'S

 

You can get a brand new ninja 250r for that price, but id get a used ninja 250 and use the rest for safety stuff, helmet, good gloves, and some others depending on what exactly you are going to be using the bike for.

you can also use some of the money to take a safety course or a riding course.

 

really cool got a pic of it
i really would prefer a used one anyways

 

I got my zx6r for less than that. An ex500 would be under $2k which would leave you money for gear, gas and insurance

 

the bike jsut looks to small to me

 

the ex500 looks small

 

its more than enough for a starter

if you want anything more than that, i have nothing to say. good luck.

 

i dont care aboutt he speed,
i want it more for the looks

 

say hello for the pavement for me. you need to reconsider a bike if you are buying it for the looks. seriously

ladies & gentlemen, I am proud to present this year's Darwin Award to...

edit:
actually, I'm too nice. Take a look at the Aprilia RS50, RS125, or RS250... afaik, the RS50 is street legal here in the states. I've heard stories of RS250's registered in California, but your mileage may vary.

why does he need to reconsider buying a bike if he only wants it for looks....that just means he is going to take care of it more...so he probably wont speed alot..wont be hard on it.....wont try to stunt it. if you want a show bike...buy something wrecked and really messed up for like $500 and take the rest of the money and do what you want to do to make it look nice.

well, since he doesnt have one and this is his first bike andhe wants it for show, hes gonna ccrash it. i dont care how careful he is. thats gonna be a fact.

 

Nate refer to my post in your insurance thread.

Also I have to say that just because he is getting his first bike doesn't mean he is going to crash. My first bike was a 1999 R6 and I had it for 3 years and put 11k on it and never crashed/dropped/flipped etc.

You're an exception to the rule, that's all.

thancl you
if i want speed ill race a civic in my civic


but ive been there doen that
i liek em casue there cheaper hen a car and still looks sweeter then a car too

 

You say you like R6's, you can pick one up for that price. It won't be mint but you can make it nice. I just got a 94 900 RR for what you want to spend. That's not even a deal either. And as far as what you get for your first bike get what you want, BUT respect the power if you do go big. My first bike was a 94 900 RR and i never even had a close call.

And faster, and ALOT more dangerous. (also, it seems like you are drunk, spell ckeck )
You cant just wake up in the morning and ride away in a t-shirt and short pants. thats the easy way to get killed. there is safety involved, ALOT more than a car is.

So are you just gonna be staring at it? cause i hope not. If you are going to ride it, then there are things to think about. And a big *** bike isnt the thing you would want as a starter. YOU WILL DROP IT one way or another, your fault or someone elses fault. And your nice "ride" will be in pieces at that time. Why do you think insurance is higher for bigger bikes? obviously because its alot more dangerous.

im done ranting. if you decide to buy a bike, be careful and always wear safety gear.

 

o i know
its cool
but if i feel when it comes tiem to buying one that i wont be bale to handle the oen i want then i wont get one

 

Nate, don't get a donorcycle.

 

Well atleast hes not as bad as my friend that wants an R1 and knows nothing about bikes.
