RE: Beater Bike

If its a short ride in town it might be okay, highway riding on a 250 sucks.

+1 Ninja 250R. About $3500 new so a used one can't be that bad. Imho you won't save any money with extra insurance and depreciation, but hey, have fun.

RE: Beater Bike

I'm proud of the miles I have on my bike, and hope to accumulate many many more. It's only a 5 mile ride to my work, but every little bit helps.

RE: Beater Bike

Well its not that I DONT want to ride my Fatboy, and the fact that I use it as an everyday ride doesnt bother me right now either. I dunno, I may end up just scrapping this idea, but if I find the right bike at the right price like DIRT cheap Ill pick it up. Just has to be able to do a projected 40 mils round trip on highway. The way i see it, Id ride to work in the AM, come home in the PM on it. Anything else would be on the Fatty. I might, MIGHT consider 4 wheels again IF the price and the model is right. Like a Civic hatchback, or Toyota Echo or Yaris. Thought about a truck like my old Toyota, but only time I used it to truck stuff was when OTHER people needed to haul stuff. lol
