I'm on CL every day, man...just looking for a old dirt/street bike, 250cc or so, nuthin fancy. Something I can rat out. NOTHING!
The weird thing about 250 beginner street bikes and 250 dual sport dirtbikes is how amazingly they retain their value. Bump yourself up to the 400-650 twin class and you'll suddenly find way better deals. Stay away from the inline fours if you don't know what you're doing.
If you just want to put around town or slow country roads on a stupid fun little bike, for a great price, go ahead and buy a new Grom.
I will do the 250 thing for a few months, then upgrade to a 400-500. I really need a work van first..
Not a bad route. You may even be able to sell it for more than you paid.
Edit: As for work van, find a friend who uses facefuck and have him search the marketplace. It seems the best deals on used cars are there these days. Sad, but true.
