Hi all,
This is my first post here, but I have certainly spent few hours just reading
My situation. Live on the Shore, work in city. Looking at mainly commuting bike, with occasional longer trips, no track time. Have one of those Cook Island licenses that I can drive on here, but only drove a scooter before. However, have been driving for the past 10 years (=getting to 30).
The choice. I was looking at this one -
Suzuki RF400 2001
Why?
1. 400cc so I could keep it for a little longer than I would've with a 250, and still be economical
2. Seems to be fairly reliable and well behaved bike from what I read
3. Reasonably priced
Questions
1. How bad of an idea to start on a 400? And this particular bike?
2. What is reasonable money to pay for it?
It's at $2700 right now, has been crashed and fixed, had a look ride - seems fine, but getting it looked at by George from MotoMD tomorrow.
3. On the point of reliability vs. cost and performance vs. my skills would I be better of sticking with your standard GPX/GSX/GT250R all 250cc
4. Any other suggestions for a 400-500cc fully faired bike under $5000?
