[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 934930, member: 6354"] Is he wanting the bike, or are you wanting him to have it? Don't take that wrong, I'm just trying to make sure we're looking at the right thing. I'm inclined to go with one of the #3 bikes, but then, how long before it's not enough bike and he wants it replaced or upgraded? So I'd say start used, not new, then sell it to somebody else for [I]their[/I] starter bike. OTOH, there are some nice 500 twins out there that are great starters and might last him a longer time after he "grows up." It also depends on what he wants to do. Does he want to go off-raod, or stay on the street and highway? When he rates his independance is he going to ride to school? Is it important to him what his buddies think of the bike, i.e. sissy lil' 250, why not get a real bike? [/QUOTE]
