    Gotta sell the car to get my first bike

    Well, to be honest, I only use one seat in my car anyway....so selling it to get a bike is no loss.
    Aaaanyhoo, the point of this thread....if anyone is interested in swapping their bike for a car, that would be sweet.
    I'm trying to sell it to pay cash for a bike, but either way is fine.
    Details: 1992 Honda Vigor, 2.5 litre 5 Cylinder (Audi based) engine. High K's(195,000) but well looked after. Auto, black, lowered on 17's(2 scuffed mags due to the last plonker owner, but only cosmetic)
    Goes well. Looking for around $3500. So if anyone has a 250cc bike they're interested in swapping for it, around the same price mark, let me know the details and we might be able to make a deal.
    Cheers,

    D.

    They sure do. Sounds like an Audi Quattro when it's revvin'. BUT...still doesn't sound as nice as a VFR, or a TL, or Duke. Hehe.

    Good luck- but how did you get conned into buying such a dog in the first place??
    At least you're buying at the best time of year - bike prices drop as it gets into winter and everybody notices the cold.

    lol. Been a good reliable car actually. Got it at a good price too. I just want a bike now.
    As for the cold...if people sell their bikes cause of the cold or don't ride in the winter or rain, then they aren't a true biker. Isn't that how it goes? Haha.

    Welcome to KB!

    Good luck with selling the car.

    You're brave getting into biking right at the time the rain starts. Take care!
