I may buy this motorcycle ... (first bike) (pics)
 

I've been thinking about a bike for some time now ... my neighbor happens to have this bike and wants $1k for it (he bought something bigger). I would love a Harley but for my first bike i want a beater ..something i can drop and not worry .. it runs great and I think it has a cool look for a Honda ... I like the primer black and straight bar ...

my other choice was a Buell blast for $2k but i think that one is sold ..not sure.

what do you motorcycle guys think of this for a first bike?

That's a pretty big bike. Looks cook tho :)

cool bike!

very cute bike :-)

Nice bike! Personally, I would go for something very light as a first bike. So you have a chance to hold it when it tips over. Something like a super moto bike, but of course this is a totally different kind of bike.

That's a nice starter bike and not bad for $1k! My good friend has a Buell Blast and she loves it. It's a perfect fit for her. Can't go wrong with either one.

But I would consider the $1k a nice bargain. Buy it and learn off on it. Don't forget to take a safety class. ;)

Not bad, most people wont even be able to tell the difference between that and a harley. Never buy a expensive bike as your first bike, i had a CB350 as my first bike and i dropped it, beat the piss out of it and they gave it to my friend to learn on,then i bought my first harley. Its perfect for a beginner and it doesnt look bad either.

I was thinking the same thing .. I want something i can beat up and not worry .. I was looking at used bikes last year in the $5k range and Mr Izzz told me the same thing ... just buy a beater because you'll drop it ... he said he's even gotten off his first bike to get gas and forgot to put the stand down :1orglaugh

and i think it's pretty cool looking ..

hot ride yo

Nice bike Mike, that's perfect for a first one ;]

nice starter bike for 1k also!
Good luck with it!!!

not bad nice bike

Pick it up bro... Sweet ride for 1K. Have fun out there.

buy the bike..keep it or sell it for the 1k to smoneelse after your done with it

fuck for 1k thats a good deal man

That thing is ugly

I like ugly :winkwink: I'm sure it will be worse when i drop it a few times ..:1orglaugh

I just shot the guy an email ..i'm going to go over on Monday and get it ..

sweet choice!!! drop it a few times break out the black paint an good as used HA!

nice good for you...:)

dont forget to buy black leather jacket too...

:1orglaugh I was thinking the same thing .. i was kidding with the guy and he said he scratched it and just busted out the can of primer .. he said he'll through it in ...:1orglaugh

I think i want to leave it primer and have my tattoo girl paint a few old school tattoo's on it ...maybe a nice pin-up ..:thumbsup

Heh, I might buy it for resale value.. but I really dont like old school style.

I like new school and sport bikes =)

I like the sports bikes also .. but I'm 31 yrs old/210lb and don't want to be that guy ...lol this bike is only a 1999 and seems to be a really well kept bike ( mechanically ) .. i like the rough look and straight bars .. it's pretty stripped down .. no mirrors or speedometer .. just the basics. hell I don't even want the directional lights but i guess they are best for a new rider

for 1k$ don't ask. buy and ask later...

I was thinking of offering him $800 ...:1orglaugh but i think it will be a slap in the face ... i know he was asking $1500 a few weeks ago and now that he has his new bike he just wants to get rid of it so dropped it to $1k ..

I guess I would check the local laws.. on what is and isn't allowed. I get shit all the time for having an non stock exhaust.. even though there is no fucking LAW!

Cops will find any reason to pull you over. I would replace the turn signals with integrated lights. if they have them

Thats an advantage of being a harley rider, cops dont pull you over for stuff like that. I have been riding for 18 years now and only got pulled over once for loud pipes on my old sportster. Most cops i know all ride harleys and tend to pull over sport bike riders more often than harley owners. Then again most sport biker riders ride like idiots, so they get pulled over more often.

Yeah would think it should have a speedometer but I don't care if i get a ticket .. if they pull me over then i guess i was speeding ..:Oh crap

not bad for 1k.

take into consideration where you live, and the kind of traffic that there is. Then decide to buy one

for 1k, take it

I'm up on the north shore of long island NY .. there's lots of nice low traffic roads to ride on and the sound is beautiful to drive along ..:thumbsup

nice bike :)

Looks pretty cool...

I think this will fall under the Harley type bike .. I see lots of kids racing around on the crotch rocket bikes and the cops always stop them ..i hardly ever see them with a guy on a Harley pulled over

I know that theory is true. The point of having a sport bike is like a sports car.. you are going to open it up atleast once. Cops know this. The bike I ride is made for speed. But 9 times out of 10 a lot of us run from the cops if we know are tags aren't written down or if we see a cop trying to catch up to us to get our tags to pull us over.

When ever I get pulled over they give me a lame excuse. Like this isn't legal I could give you a ticket for this but I am just informing you yadda yadda. They are fishing for major shit. Stolen bikes.. Kids with no licences riding bikes.

I am just respectfull when I get pulled over and I normally get let go.. 0 tickets so far in my 636 and 0 in my SS camaro but like 3 in my truck.. go figure that one out

Nice looking bike.

That'll work well as a first bike. I beat the living shit out of my first one.... never dropped it by forgetting to put the stand down though =P

i think you should get one of those

With a little TLC, it should be ok.
