Questions For Those Who Know Motorcycles? |
Hello. I am looking to buy my boyfriend a crotch rocket street bike for Christmas. But I don't really know much about motorcycles. I found a cheaper one on Ebay that is brand new and has a 200 cc motor. My boyfriend's 19 and weighs about 150 pounds. I want to get him something nice but don't want to spend over $3,000. I plan on paying payments on it but I just don't know what to get him. Please help me any way that you all can. Thanks! The best thing to do is get him a kawasaki ninja 250r their under $3000 and their great beinnger bikes also try to get him training classes their about $350 for intro and beinnger corses unless he's been riding bikes Good Luck Welcome to the forums! To answer your questions: 1. A mid-life crisis at 35. I was scared to death and was only going to do 1 tandem. 2. He supported me, but said I'd have to find a way to pay for my rig (I got a second job). We're divorced now though. Out of curiousity.............. are you GAY? ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ 200cc is not a street legal bike. Minimum is 250cc unless its classified as a moped or scooter. for 3k the only thing decently new you would be able to get him is a Kawasaki EX 250. at 19 years old its probably all he needs anyway. Does he have any experience on a bike? I'm sure you can find a thrashed ZX6R or some other used stunt bike for under $3000, but if you like your boyfriend alive I wouldn't recomend it. Search for EX 250, Ninja 250 R, Ninja 500 R, or Suzuki GS500F. They are all good first bikes. Are you sure you weren't looking at the moped section? I mean come on, 200 cc? It might pull a midget... first off you need to ask him if he has ever ridden a motorcycle then you will be able to determine what size is best also if you intend also to be a passenger on the bike you will need at least a 750 or bigger in order for it to handle both of you . also if you are gonna ride on it also you will want it to be comfortable for you too so if you will be on it too i suggest you get like a honda goldwing or something simular you see a motorcycle can be very dangerous if you are not aware of the hazzards they can encounter or if you drive them recklessly so you should tell him you would like to buy him one for xmas and let him decide so that he will like it more and you will get him one he really likes that way you wont waste 3000 on a bike he might not want and you end up selling it hope this helps and please be very careful on it because bike are very fun and you can have many good times on it just be safe and you will enjoy it very much If you care about him at all make sure he has proper gear first. There is nothing that takes and flesh off bones faster than asphalt at 20 plus mph. Full face helmets are a must, as are good jackets and gloves. Pants and boots are an extremely good idea. There are 2 types of riders: those who have crashed and those who will so don't cheap out on gear. You can pick up a good 90's 600 for around 3k, figure on at least $200 for a helmet (mine was over $400) and around $150 for a jacket. Stay away from the smaller bikes (500cc and under) he will outgrow them quick and they probably won't scare him as much. Once you stop being a little scared of your bike you will get hurt. |
