I might pay a grand for one in good shape, just to play around with. It's all the aftermarket parts that have me interested.
But I could buy another decent used street bike for a little over $2500; there's no way in hell I'd buy a new one.

 

thats what i been doing

 

I bought mine for 2k, with 43 miles on it, the guy paid 2.7k for it brand new, deals are out there. The thing i like is the whole "no insurance,registration or license" needed, so its alot cheaper than a street bike, and imo, safer, because i cant stunt this thing, lol

 

And the fuel economy is unbelievable. When gas hits $5 you'll be loving life on that thing.

 

you aint gotta tell me, i already get 28mpg ( wooo) but im a soda ringer at a gas station ( as rebroded likes to call me, but he rings parts up for a auto store) so i see gas fluctuate every day.

topped it off last night with premium, 2.27, lol

 

lol that's insane. What kind of mpg's you been getting?

I'd love to get one but my work commute takes my up VB Blvd and that seems borderline suicidal if I can only get up to a 35mph cruising speed.

 

i havent calculated the mpg's as i let it warm up for a good 15 mins before i ride. idk how big you are, but 40 is do able JT2339423423847923742389 got it up to 40 last night, and he is slightly heavier than me

 

it's called low ball, duhh

 

im about 5'11-6'0 @ 250 lbs, i average around 40-44 on flat grounds. no "performance parts" just a carbon kevlar belt.

 

Yeah, I just can't get pulled over after I swap mine(when I get it), In VA, anything bigger than a 50cc technicly requires a Class M license. lololol...fuck that. Though, I was planning on getting a bike in my time without a License, for those exact reasons, just not till I get mine back.
