With diesel reaching upwards of $4.30 a gallon, and premium unleaded for the stroker in the jeep getting up there too, I've decided its time to start looking into a cheap reliable motorcycle to get me around. This summer I will be commuting about 13 miles one way (25-30 minutes with traffic) I figured getting a cheap older 250 - 400 cc motorcycle may be the way to go rather then firing up the Cummins everyday for the drive down there.
I've ridden dirtbikes and ATV's before so I am used to the basics of motorcycle riding. But I am looking for something cheap, reliable, and gets better mileage then my vehicles. It doesn't have to go 100 mph, just get me from point A to point B in one piece.
Where do you recommend I start my search? I'd like to keep the budget under $1,750 if possible. I have access to a full shop and cheap parts from carquest so a little work isn't a deal breaker. Point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
