Default I need some input on this bike...

Ive been unemployed for about 4 months now after getting laid off from a company that was cleaning the beaches during the oil spill in the gulf, and my insurrance has lapsed, and my license is suspended, and my tag expires in 3 days. Due to my situation Ive been thinking about selling my car to my mom, since she has no wheels, and getting a bike since I dont need insurrance on a motorcycle. Ive been searching for used bikes on craigslist for a few days now and this is the cheapest one Ive found, and is right around the price range that my car is unfortunately worth. Its either this or possibly a kawasaki vulcan 750. Feel free to give your 2 cents on either bike.

That Hyosung will rust out in a year...especially with you being in Fla...salty air.

I wouldnt ride a motorcycle without insurance.

thats exactly what I said when I first saw it. Its some jap bike. I think its sells mainly in europe or something. Some of the reviews said it wasnt that bad of a bike, actually.
Turns out Ill be getting the Vulcan, though. My stepdad is getting the hook up on one from a guy he knows.

I dont really have a choice right now. Ill eventually get insurance on it, I just cant afford it at the moment. Im getting the bike so I can have something to go job hunting with, and then when I finally find a damn job, get to and from work. Im probably just going to buy another mustang though, asap, when I do get work.

how about you get a bicycle? and if your license is suspended, i'm not sure how it's gonna be legal for you to be riding.

Its not going to be legal, obviously. Ive been driving my car with a suspended license for months now. Only difference with getting a bike is Ill have an up-to-date tag. A bicycle isnt quit going to cut it, either..Id be restricted very much with a bicycle, and that would only make it more difficult to find a job. I dont know if you've noticed lately, or how it might be where you live, but down here, its getting increasingly harder to find employment, especially in the town that I live in, and surrounding areas. I need to be looking a little a little farther from home, like in the tourist towns, and getting a bike would allow me to do that whithout paying an arm and a leg for gas.

driving an unlicensed vehicle is just gonna get you in even more trouble, really wouldnt recommend it. if a cop sees that youre riding an unlicensed and uninsured vehicle when your license is suspeneded its gonna be pretty bad.
