Sport Bike

[M1L3S]

If I was you, I would go on crashedtoys.com look at the eastbethel location. You may find something alot cheaper. They have theft recoveries, lowsided bikes, high sided bikes, and front end collision etc. I would look for a nice bike that has been lowsided and has little to no stator damage. Take fairings off or leave them on and learn how to ride.

Sad truth is there are only two type of riders, those that have gone down, and thoses who are going down.It happeneds to us all one time or another.

I would get a bike thats 750cc or above. 250cc will be cool for the first 15min or until you try to punch it on a on or off ramp. You want to learn with a decent size bike, because you build habits when you ride. I know to many people that started out with a 600cc then bumped up to a 1000cc while maintaining the habits they formed with the 600cc. Long story short they went down. Or worse. You will long for the power of a larger motor as time goes by anyway, so why buy twice ?

A perfect scenario would be to shop crashedtoys.com find yourself nice theft recovery or lowsided bike (you would be amazed with a bike what a insurance company labels totaled) spend a little under your budget because you may need to do a few easy repairs

Perfect example. Back in 08 a buddy of mine bought a 04 f4i off crashed toys for 2500 well below msrp and blue book of that year. Just had to replace ignition that was punched out of the bike(theft recovery) sold the fairings that were mint on it, and turned it into a stunt bike.

No sense in buying something nice and new. Although you can get really nice bikes from there. Sorry for the rant. Just my .02 cents. And please wear a helmet. Dont be a re re


Also things to look for in a bike

Chain, is it rusted ? Loose (stretched) does it touch rear tire ?

Sprockets, theres two sets, front and back. Are the teeth missing or rounded ?

Front forks. Is the front seals leaking ? Means someone was hitting wheelies and coming down hard.

Could also mean worn clutch depending how they were popping it up.

Always check stator covers and handle corners (people go down and replace everything but sometimes miss the handle corners or edge of the top windsheild fairing and try to sell and never gone down)

Listen to how it idles , does it smell very rich? Could need jets adjusted or tune.

Does it have full exhaust or just a slip on ? (Flapper mod done)

Does the clutch engage strongly ?

Is the battery good ? Does it start strong right away ?(batteries are not cheap)

Tires tread( does the rear middle of the tire look flat ? Or is it still rounded)

Flat means long straight rides and worn tires. Round still means tread.

Check chicken scratch on side of tires. Look an see the length. If it goes half way up the wall of the tire, good guys its.been tracked or rode hard. You get that from wear on the tires taking nice sharp low turns at a good speed. Another indicator on how the clutch may be.

Im missing alot of hints and tips. But if you want someone to come check it out with you, or have anymore questions just shoot me a text or pm. The test isnt hard to pass. Just dont PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN!!!!!!
