I'm thinking about getting a motorcycle UPDATED: Got it!
    #18323075 - 05/26/13 01:01 PM (10 years, 9 months ago)

It's definitely going to be a crotch-rocket, nobody will talk me out of that :lol:.

With that in mind, what kind of bike should I be looking at for a beginner rider?  I want to get something used, and definitely under $5000.

:lol:

It definitely depends where you live, I assure you you need insurance in Ontario, and I'm sure the cost is really high.

The upside is that in my city parking for motorcycles is free everywhere!

i dont think you need a driving test with mortercycles though, just a written test, then you can jump on a bike right away and crash into whatever you want

You could probably find a used Kawasaki Ninja for under $5000, they made a shit ton of those things.

I'm too damn tall to want to ride a crotch rocket, but I always thought those looked ok.

Yep eventually I'm getting myself a Ninja 650R. One of the top 10 best bikes IMO. Especially for the price.
OP, you can put 3k down on a new bike, and put that other 2k in a bank and use that to cover the next 10-15 months in payments.

Why would I do payments?  I'm buying it outright.  I firmly believe it is absolutely retarded to finance anything that depreciates such as any vehicle.

Yeah, you just put it on the sidewalk. Until quite recently in ON you didn't need insurance or a license for a moped, but that's no longer true.

Well where I'm from, you need a specific motorcycle drive test on top of your normal one, or in place of the normal one, not quite sure.

Shows how different the laws are

The written test gets you a learner's permit essentially. They couldn't really give you a road test to get that, because before you get the learner's permit you can't legally ride a motorcycle at all. I don't think you're allowed to ride with a passenger until you pass a road test, but there is no limit on how big of a bike you can ride with just the learner's permit.

Umm, no, you need a drivers license AND I motorcycle endorsement (separate license). At least in the states.







And on topic, crotch rockets are retarded.

In Ontario (where the OP lives) you can get a motorcycle license with no driver's license though.

Umm, no, it varies state to state, province to province, and country to country.  In Canada you write a written test and can ride a motorcycle alone with certain restrictions.

Thanks for the helpful advice :rolleyes:.

Yup, and you don't have to park it on the sidewalk, you can park it anywhere street parking is legal.  This is Toronto though, I don't know the laws in Ottawa.

That's pretty cool, I didn't realize that. I've thought before of getting a scooter with a 250 engine or something.

I'm going to call a few insurance companies and see what they quote me, that will be very important in deciding if this is worthwhile.  I don't want to spend more than $300/mo, but I just turned 24 last week, and I'm guessing I'm going to get quotes in the $400-600 range.

I did just get a raise and a contract and medical benefits at work though!  Very exciting stuff.

Yeah, males under 25 pay ridiculous amounts for insurance.
