motorcycle for beginner used and cheap?

ok, i am liking the gas mileage on motocycles. i like the crotch rocket look. but i would rather start out with something slow and stable. but with the same bodystyle. i will have about 1000 dollars to spnd, i wanna get something some one has probly dropped a few times, but it still runs ok, you know? i dont need anything pretty. cause i will probbly drop it never rode a bike b4. but i like the simplicity of the motor and the gas mileage. i dont want a moped… doesanyone have any idea what insurance will do? i will have liability. will it go up or down? anyone know? im a car guru, but motorcycles to me are something new

I suggest a kawasaki ninja 250R or the ex500. You can find used bikes for under $2000. People are always looking for these bikes so you can sell it down the road for probably close to what you paid for it (when it’s time to upgrade). I would be very leary of bikes that were “dropped a few times”. You can find a used ninja 250 that’s never been dropped.

Insurance for bikes (full coverage) is generally very expensive especially if you have don’t have a M1 license. After a few years as a “licensed” rider the rates will go down. You are already coming to realization that you’ll drop your bike soon after you get it. The insurance companies knows you’ll do the same. When I got my first bike “fully insured” it was close to $4000 a year. Of course I was 18 at the time and had a fresh motorcycle license. Liability on the other hand is very cheap. You can probably find insurance for a few hundred bucks a year or less. The reason is simple; who is going to win if you get into fender bender with a car or truck? You guessed it.. you lose…

Be safe, take a CC rider course in your are (800 cc rider). Don’t practice on the streets!

In Mandarin, Hong Kong means “fragrant harbour”, evoked by its location as one of the most beautiful natural harbours in the world. However, the name Hong Kong is derived from the Cantonese pronunciation of its name.

The history of Hong Kong began in 1842 when it was ceded in perpetuity to the British following their defeat of China in the so-called “Opium War”. Before the British took over, Hong Kong was home to only some fishing communities. Few people stayed there fore long due to its lack of water sources. It was also frequented by pirates who sometimes worked with the British to fuel the trade of opium.

From its humble beginnings as a backwater colony, the history of Hong Kong has seen the city go through rapid development and expansion of its territories. Warehouses, banks, ship repair facilities and stores sprang up quickly after the arrival of the British government. In 1862, the colony was expanded when the Chinese government ceded Kowloon to the British, also in perpetuity. The colony became famous as an innovative center for banking, shipping and insurance.

Major events in the history of Hong Kong were those such as the third pandemic of the bubonic plague, a 3 year invasion by Japanese troops during World War II, as well as waves of refugees emigrating from China following the famines following the Great Leap and the Cultural Revolution. While there were fears that its economy would stagnate when Hong Kong was returned to Chinese rule in 1997, the establishment of the “one country, two systems” policy allowed the former colonial territory to maintain a degree of autonomy and allow its existing social and economic systems to remain the same.

Hong Kong is a major financial and business hub in Asia. It is also a city that wields major influence over entertainment and fashion trends in the region.
