3800 street bike

[iliveonnitro]

Gas prices are suppose to soar, and i can barely afford gas as it is, so I'm looking into buying a motorcycle.

I dont care for speed so much, but I do car for it to be light. I'm looking for 250-350lbs wet if possible. I want reliability, but cost, and weight are very important too. Speed could probably hurt, but the faster it is, the better

Anyone have any knowledge on what would fit me good?

What are the projected gas prices?

For a small street bike the SV600 is pretty good. Since I'm tall I like the bigger bores, I have a ZX9R. You'll get a smoother ride out of a heavy bike, which is nicer for long rides. Out of the sportbikes, I'd say stick with a CBR600. You can get them used unmodified pretty reasonably.

i have a 96 Yamaha YZF600R for sale ... Vance & Hines pipe carbon fiber turn signals, front and rear ... brand new rubber on the back ... the bike has 11,xxxmiles that is pretty low milage for a 96 . i am advertising it locally for 3500 plastics are in good shape the only thing the bike needs is brake pads which will be before the bike is sold . ...... the only thing i would suggest is to check ins, before you buy anything ... sportbikes are somewhat difficult to insure for young people .

If you're looking for cheap, reliable transportation Honda is the way to go. They have the best rep for build quality and reliabilty even for their older bikes (>8yrs). You can't go wrong with a used Honda. Look for a shadow, magna or interceptor. These are all fun bikes that can be had in good shape for less than $3k. You're not going to find much lighter than 400-500lbs. If you want a super light bike go w/the Honda cbr600. Ones in good shape can be found for less than $3500.
