Get used to high gas prices.

No it wont, buying an older Ninja 250 for no more then 2K plus liability insurance (around $120/year) plus helmet and gloves and you have made up for that in about 5-6 years…maybe sooner if gas breaks $5+ a year. Gotta start somewhere Vlad to save money!

However I agree with you if someone goes out and buys a brand new bike with full coverage, then its not even worth it at that point.
