I need a bike..... Badly.

[esquire]

I'm looking to buy my first bike.

Preferably a 250.

Only have about $1500 to spend.

Anyone selling a bike within that range or know of anywhere I can get one?

Thanks.

[Rich...]

You and another guy are both looking for bikes for $1500...Good luck with it...though I do know someone bought an 80s gsx250 for $1500..

I know someone who picked one up for about $300... that runs.... and is registered

[Tenchi]

I know that there was a Suzuki Bandit 250 for about that much. I'll make some enquiries. It's a really old bike though - 1990'ish

while it may be possible, id suggest saving up just a little bit more, 1500 and 3000 gives you a whole different world of bikes. in the scheme of things, 3000 is easy enough to make if you work at it.

If you are desperate though, i know you can pick up a cb250 or dirt bike on the cheap like this
Good luck!

Really? That's not too old. My cousins 400 Ninja is a 1990 model and it's great.

Yeah I almost bought a postie bike a while back but I looked ridiculous on it (I'm 6'4") and it was pretty darn uncomfortable.

[esquire]

Ok.
I now have about $3000 to spend.

Have you budgeted for gear?

[esquire]

Have you budgeted for gear?

yeah but does anyone have any tips on gear. i.e - whats good, what do i need etc.

[wayney]

A good helmet is probably the most essential, as long and you look for quality, comfort and good fit for the rest I guess.
