you can get a used adequate newer learner bike for $2000-2800. If you're more flexible on what you ride you could get something for a little cheaper. Beginner bikes don't lose value quick and with many you can buy them and sell them for the same price or close a year later. Even if you sell it for less it'll be a couple hundred less and not $1-2k like the new bikes. Definitely get a used bike.....all the bikes that are good for a beginner have been around for years and the models haven't changed so you're getting the same thing or almost the same thing. BTW bikes are more reliable than people think so I'd get something with 25k or more miles so you can pay even less for your beginner bike. I've heard of people with 70k and 100k on stock ninja 250's which were still going strong so it shouldn't be a prob with the 500's. If you get new....when you go to sell you'll take a huge hit on depreciation and what people want to pay for a used beginner bike. Check craigslist if you're in the dc area because there's a ton of bikes on there for cheap

No i live in dale city and right now im at college at UMD (car still in Dale City). I have seen a few black celicas around w/black rims but they all have silver lips. O and right now the rims are off my car cause Im at college. So I put my stock bronze rims back on.
