Shoud I buy the motorcycle before or after I get my license and gear?

I found an interesting offer on a Honda CB500 from 1993 but I don't have my license nor gear. I'm afraid that if I don't buy it now I might loose it. What do you think?

Added (1). Of course I don't plan on riding with no gear. I'm going to store the motorcycle until it's 100% safe

If it is for the right price, I would buy it. Store it in your garage, take good care of it. And meanwhile, work on getting your license. Once you have your license, and you aren't wasting anymore money, buy the equipment.

Never miss an opportunity, just go ahead and buy
the license will come later

Be sure if you do buy it, you store it properly.

There are hundreds of articles about how to do that- google "long term storage, motorcycle".

Personally, I think you don't need

  • Is the 1985 Honda CR 500 water pump gear shaft compatible with the 86-2001 Honda CR 500 water pump gear shaft? I have a 1985 CR 500 and the water pump gear shaft broke. It has been discontinued from Honda, and no one else has it. It is a metal gear. The one's for the 1986-2001 CR 500 are plastic. If I have to use plastic, I will. However, I prefer not to. If anyone knows where I can get the OEM 1985 Honda CR 500 gear shaft, I would forever be grateful.
