Re: need a little help
ebay and wera.com have some too. Here's one in richmond http://richmond.craigslist.org/mcy/167892837.html everyone wants an f3 for some reason so they're often hard to come by in good shape and/or you're paying a premium for them. In the used market you might have to travel a bit to get what you want.......just a warning. You'll have 10x the luck finding something in the DC area vs around here

If its your first bike you might want to phone around for insurance!! Insurance difference between a sport bike and let say a cruiser can be quite steep! I guess thats why a lot of sport bike guys just get Liability. Best of luck

Re: need a little help
And insurance does not always depend on the type of bike. State Farm bases it solely on displacement...
Kevin, talk to Dustin (Boost Junkie). He has a Yamaha he bought to learn on and I expect he'll be selling sometime soon.

There's a sweet 91' CBR6 F2 here in NoVa for a little over 3K, body is straight with only about 12K miles. Check out the Wash DC craigslist.
