Ok I'm a pretty patient person usually.......but I've been looking for a bike to ride for months....I can't find anything that has a clear title for the amount I have (about $1500) I look on eBay daily for bikes that are 250 miles and closer. The only thing I find on there in my price range are 1980's cruiser bikes or little kids 50 and 80cc bikes......

what gives? is it near impossible to find a bike with this price or what?

i've been looking in all the local papers and ad finders too.....all that ive seen is stuff for around $3000
i believe ive tried cycletrader as well and all i got was cruiser bikes and the youth bikes.....

bsooner - $2500 is way off from $1500 :)

and honestly i wouldnt mind riding an older ex250....bike is a bike...and the smaller engine will give me better gas mileage so im down for that......and when i get to know the bike better i can move up later......as everyone has said before.....with gas prices the way they are now i dont really expect depreciation to be much

try your local craigslist listings... http://www.craigslist.org/
been there........

dont that.....

ive checked st louis, kansas city, and des moine with no luck

i had posted when i first joined about a 96 ninja zx6 for $600 and it pretty much seemed like a scam so i passed it up....

i do have one lead on one for $1500, a 92 katana 600cc.....ive emailed the guy a few times, he replied once or twice but i cant get him to send photos....he lives at least 2 hours away and so i cant just drive if its gonna be a POS.....his bike on NADA average retail is just over $1300 so i think i can talk him down a bit......i have his number and i guess ill have to call him tomorrow to see if he'll send me some photos
