So I'm getting a motorcycle...
 
A cheap one...less than 5 grand if possible. I want an enduro/super motard style bike I think...anyone here have/had/ridden one of those? Or any bike advice at all other than the usual safety shit...Ive had a motorcycle before that I rode on the street regularly so Im aware of that shit.

crotch rocket/ sport bikes are out of the equation.

Badfish 06-05-2008 07:24 PM

get a sport bike.

:)



lol but in all seriousness, why are they out of the question? you'd have a gas saver and something that's really fun to play with on the weekends. you can find some nice bikes for under 5 grand. i payed a total of 1500 for my 86 gixxer, and it runs flawlessly.

the only bikes ive ever driven are duc's. if you dont want a sport bike get a monster. its kinda sport bike-esque(sp?) and they still really fuckin go and are a great gas saver and almost as comfortable as a chopper.

OH...

Hell...

Yeah....

V-10
500HP


According to the official specs 0-60 mph times have been estimated at .75 seconds, with an estimated top speed of 750 mph.

not guna lie....ill willingly be the first to try and hit that 750mph mark :P

i took my motorcycle safety course on a suzuki 200cc dual purpose bike. nice lil bike for learning on but thats about it. it probably accelerates just as fast as a honda civic.

I have ridden motard bikes and they are fun, but are not comfortable at all for even moderately long rides. The seat is the same as the dirt bikes and those arent ment to be sat on hardly at all. If you dont want a sport bike look into some cruiser or muscle cruisers even. I love my Vstar 1100 its quick enough to have fun and do burnouts etc... but not enough to kill myself.

PS-I knew the moped idea wasnt gonna last, LOL.

/\/\ yeah... oh well...lesson learned.

Lazerred6 06-06-2008 04:22 PM

Tomahawk = death


I imagine 0-60 in .75 would be very Uncomfortable.

zigzagg321 06-06-2008 05:53 PM

I think I found the bike I want. 2002 suzuki DZR400S...Athena 440 kit, stainless skidd plates...extra large capacity tank(new never installed) Edelbrock Carb and only 900 miles on it. for less than twice what I paid for that moped. If all goes as planned I should have it in my garage tomorrow or Sunday.

It's some kind of new bike that makes no emissions..lol, you lean forward and it goes.

madmatt 06-06-2008 08:34 PM

I want this

http://www.rubbermag.com/bikes/imgs/...450SMR_600.jpg

but sadly, Ill never have the cojones to ride on the street

zigzagg321 06-06-2008 09:22 PM

I would gladly take either one of those bikes. however this purchase is an attempt at money savings actually...50-60mpg...cheap insurance...with some good fun mixed in of course.

That ducati is sick!

madmatt 06-07-2008 07:17 AM

Look into a used DRZ400, Ive heard and read some great stuff about them, and they are probably in your price range.

zigzagg321 06-07-2008 07:42 AM

/\/\thats what I am getting...just not the motard version...there is a 2-3 thousand dollar premium on those.

madmatt 06-07-2008 07:49 AM

Nice. We'll obviously need some pics :D

BTW, this is my new toy, got it last weekend.
