I bought a 2001 with 8000-miles and some cracked plastics for $1000. The bike ran sweet and makes some badass sounds with the Yoshimura 2-in-1 exhaust that came with it.

I would say hold off. My bro.... ebbs15 gave me that advise when I thought I had found a couple of bikes that were comparable with what your looking at. I decided to wait and found a newer one with a lot less miles, and nothing wrong with it. Itâ€™s my first bike and itâ€™s a '03 Ninja 250 I paid $1500 for it. And it had less then 12k on it.

My parents weren't either. They just found it in the Garage when they came back from Vacation. Then when I got my New F3 my mom looked at the Spedomter and saw 175MPH on it and freaked.

You could trick your parents and get a DRZ400. Make them think it's a dirtbike until they see you laying Blackies in the twisties.

Good luck with the hunt.

Dude Upshift you just need to go get that brand new 2007 up at Griffiths Kawasaki... its brand new with a 2yr warranty for 2600 or 2700... cant get much better come on... stop looking at the broke, possibly framebent, needing engine work bikes... besides your mom would feel better if you had one that looked good and didnt look like it was going to fall apart...shes not going to like it and never let you ride it if it looks like crap...
