Its starting to get warmer (minus the rain thats foretasted for tomorrow), and I want a motorcycle.
I was originally looking at Suzuki sv650s, sv1000s, or Honda FZ6s, or FZ1s. But I realized that I dont have the money for a newer $4k bike plus the insurance I would have to pay for being a kid.
So, Ive decided that I should start looking at older bikes, but I really have no idea what I am doing or what I am looking at. Craigslist is full of bikes, but I dont know what I should be looking at, what are red flags, or anything about bikes.
Im looking for crotch rockets, or older bikes. I dont really like cruisers or Harley type of bikes.
Ive found a couple options:
1982 Honda cb750
http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/2318780122.html
1996 Honda cb750 Night
http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/2321388073.html
1989 Yamaha Radian 600
http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/2321373305.html
1992 Honday Nighthawk 750
http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/2320595886.html
Basically what Im looking for is something I can DD, mainly backstreet cruising, doubt Ill really get on freeways all that often. I would like to spend more time riding than wrenching, and the cheaper the better.
Im 6'2'' 190 lbs, so Im thinking a slightly bigger bike would be better. :insert I need a liter bike here:
Anyone have some input?
