WTB: beginner bike

looking for something under $3k for a starter bike never rode before so im thinking 500-600cc even though i want a 1000 id kill myself

600cc i think is an intermediate bike

if you really want beginner get a 250cc, you can get one brand new for 2500

i still want something that i can ride for awhile i think a 250 would get old quick. anyone know why 9x bikes seem to be going for more then 0x bikes do they just hold value better?

well i have learned one thing from my thread, some people on here act like a mid-late 90’s bike depreciates like a ford taurus. it makes me lol

come spring there will be PLENTY of WTBers out there for a good starter 600 and NOT alot of them for sale.

r6, cbr600rr, zx6r, gixxer 600- all good quick bikes thats you probably wont get sick of as fast as you would with a 500. BTW honda ride bikes are always for sale, maybe not on nyspeed but they really are for sale all the time.

Check out www.buffalostreetriders.com sometimes people on there can point you in the right direction.

i understand this, yet not in the area. and whether you think so or not alot of people looking for bikes in WNY don’t venture out of NY/PA. when my buddy was lookin for a 600 2 yrs ago he cudn’t find any in the area. cept a bunch of 00-06 R6’s w/ damage.

Im sure someone would drive 2 hrs to save $1000 or more on anything.And shipping on bikes are cheap and so are plane tickets.

well my offer on the cbr is 2800 you were selling for around 3 if i remember but wanted to sell it sooner, everyone seems to think even that is to much but its local which is what im looking for.

That ninja Jeremy called me about is a decent beginner bike. Its a great advanced bike too though. Its all in throttle control…

yeah im waiting on a response from him hes asking to much i think unless he got some shit done

bump anybody see anything lately

they hold their value really well I’d say. I mean a cbr600 f3 was worth 2500-3k 4 years ago, and still worth 2500-3 today.

for reference, I sold my 01 r6 in beautiful shape last year for 3100

To OP…

My cousin is selling his 1998 cbr 600 f3 with a few goodies on it.

I talked with him a few weeks ago and im sure he’d take 2500ish

iirc it has 14k miles, jardine pipe, new tires, new brakes, tune up etc etc. Has a crack on the rear tail, i think that’s the ONLY imperfection on it…

If you want more details, PM me and i can get pictures/specific details. He’s a good guy and just had a kid so he wont be riding it anymore. LMK :tup:

EDIT: maroon and tan in color

To the people PM’ing me about my cousin’s f3, slowtalon showed interest first and he will get first dibs this week. If he decides to pass, i will make a thread seeing there’s a lot of interest :tup:

yeah everyone pming shrives :nono: start your own thread stop trying to steal my bikes :shoot:

:tup:

your one of those people arent you jo jo back the fuck up before you feel the heat from some cold steel. LOL check your pms
