Hey all, I'm looking for a bike for my Girlfriend.
If you've got one kicking around, see one on the street for sale or know someone who is growing out and trading up, let me know please
Criteria:
*Up to 400CC
*Flat-footable (or at least tip toe-able) for a 5'5 Girl
*Standard to sporty position, just not a feet out cruiser.
*one or two cylinders, it'll be used downtown most of the time, maybe some runs to North York/Thornhill.
*No major repairs needed or replacements. I'll be bringing it up to spec, I feel fine doing engine work, like a top end replacement, but fork replacement seems like a pain(sourcing)
*Certifiable/insurable, and not too expensive, no M1 yet and she's 22, 4 years car driving insurance history, no car to bundle with insurance right now.
*under $1,500.00
Bikes we've been looking at:
CBR125r
Ninja250r
CBR250r
VTR250
Old Honda CB's and similar bikes
+Anything else that rolls for cheap
thanks for looking, all thoughts and suggestions welcome. PM me or reply to thread.
