Should I buy a motorcycle?
I'm a senior in high school and am going to college next fall. I have been looking into buying a 85 Honda Rebel for driving around town in college. I currently own a 1994 Jeep grand Cherokee but it have very low MPG. The Rebel would cost me anywhere from $1,000-$1,300. Would this be a good investment?
What would insurance and maintenance cost?
do you live where you are willing to drive it all year round?
how likely are you going to be to get seriously injured driving one?
My motorcycles are the best investment in transportation I've done
Any 30 year-old bike is always a bit of a lottery, there are bound to be mechanical and basic maintenance issues, waiting for and sourcing parts can be an issue too.
Although you should be able to get just about anything for the bike, and Hondas have a deserved reputation for reliability, it can take time.
Personally, if that is going to be my only option, I would look for a more recent bike.

The Cofounder of Riders- Share.Com compensated me the full amount of the motorcycle repairer's written damage estimate. I was also fully compensated for the helmet, which the renter wore when he crashed my motorcycle and my helmet.
