Looking for a cheap yet reliable sports bike?
I'm in 9th grade now and saving up to buy a sport bike at the beginning of senior year my budget will be $3,000. I'm looking at a honda cbr250r and kawasaki ninja 250r any other ideas you give i will look into all help is appreciated. Also not looking for speed since 70mph is the fastest you can legally go in America. Also what is the best time in the year to buy a sports bike form a dealer ship and privet dealer
Not many people are looking to buy or sell motorcycles in the middle of winter. Once springtime rolls around, you should be able to find a plentiful supply of used bikes in that price range. Try searching on Craig's List or your local newspaper's classified ads.
The CBR250 and Ninja 250 are good choices. I would go with the cbr out of the two because the cbr is fuel injected, rated at 80 mpg. Ninja rated at 52 mpg. Similar in power. The ninja is 1/2 a hp more. But, the honda has a quicker 0-60mph time. More low rpm power. Making for more reliable starts and better stop light to stop light riding.
- What are some good and reliable sports cars by these brands? I'm looking to buy a sporty type car from one of the more reliable brands. From what I've heard, Toyota, Honda, Acura, and Hyundai are pretty solid. By good and reliable i mean which cars hold their value the longest, which cars are the least expensive to fix if something did go wrong, etc. I'm just looking for a basic list of some good cars that cost less than 20,000. Obviously not looking for brand new cars
- Would a 125cc 4 stroke scooter be able to keep up with a 125cc sports bike? I'm thinking of getting a Sym Jet 4 125cc, and my friend rides a Honda CBR 125, we re riding about 3 hours down to the Bulldog Bash, would my scooter be powerful enough to keep up with him? And cruise comfortably at about 60mph? Long and short. How much of an advantage/disadvantage are gears when it comes to acceleration and speed.
- Which bike would be a good first sport bike. Looking at CBR1000/600's and also the yamaha R1/R6? I don't know much about the differences, I know some people are all for Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda, of Kawasaki. Seems that whatever bike someone has, they say its the best. I wish I could just ride all of them and see for myself. Tampa, FL Sam
- Recommend sports bike for 5 foot 3 inch tall person? I will be 16 years of age soon, and currently race with a crf100 (although it is much too small at this point haha) and out and about I drive a crf230l with no trouble. I'm 5'3" and weigh 135lbs. I'm looking into getting a sports bike, and am considering a ninja 300, or a honda cb500f. The ninja 300 seems ideal, but I worry it is too small, and won't do much more than 130kmph. What would you recommend?
