I am looking to buy a cheap light used motorcycle, which of these would be a good bet?
I have never rode before, but after I am done with my riding class I want something light, cheap and not too powerful for the first year, as I will still be learning.
I am thinking of getting a Honda Rebel or a Kawasaki Ninja, but of these bikes I have listed which sounds best?
How many miles is too many on a used bike?
Kawasaki Ninja 250cc 2120 miles $1800
2006 Kawasaki Ninja 250R 250cc 4400 miles $2000
2000 Suzuki 250cc Cruiser 11450 miles $1400
2001 Honda Rebel 250cc 2800 miles $1800
2005 Honda CMX250 Rebel 250cc 9800 miles $2000
Thanks in advance
BTW The first Ninja I listed is a 2004..
And wow, thanks for the answers so far guys!
Both are very good for new riders. Both are pretty easy to unload if and when you want to up in size… which most folks will want to do at some point.
Quality of both machines are comparable, but the Ninja has one rather large factor in its favor… it is fast enough to operate on the highways ( the Rebel is as well if you are not heavy and the wind is not in your face), but the Ninja will do the speeds regardless of those factors, and have a bit to spare if you need it. The benefit is that the Ninja can be kept longer and serve as a highway ride as long as you need it to. The Rebel will have to be replaced if highways are to be a frequent riding environment for you.
Good luck in you decision!

Fly $5.03 After the roaring success of Wide Open Spaces–a blend of turn-of-the-century pop and country traditionalism–what do you do for an encore? Rather than deliver more of the same, the Chicks have chosen instead to up the ante in country radio with a follow-up that’s both poppier and twangier than its predecessor, and just plain better too. Some of it we’ve heard before: “Hello Mr. Heartache,” for ex… |
