Motorcycle Riders of CivicX?

Thanks for the tips! A guy I used to live brought a '78 CB350 back to life (which is pretty much what sparked my interest in motorcycles in the first place), so I am a little familiar the nature of older carbureted engines. I'm also signed up for a motorcycle safety course at the end of May which waives the riding and written tests, you basically just have to bring in a certificate of completion and money and you get your license. I'm looking forward to getting out there and riding!

Definitely go with used bike first, you'll not feel as bad if you drop it. Are you set on getting a cafe racer?

I would have to agree. I love my 500r and bought it new but I know I will be upgrading within two years. So naturally, unless I get a really great deal on the next bike i'm going to loose some cash. Buying used would have been a great idea but it would have had to been through a dealer so I could finance it. Of course my local dealer now has a used 15' FZ-07 with only 1k miles on it and is asking $6200.

Yep, I ride.

My grandfather bought this bike brand new. He got too old to ride, but never sold it, I think because it reminded him of days gone by. When he passed away maybe 5 years ago, my uncle inherited it. He was short for cash, so my dad bought it from him. My dad has a fair number of bikes, and didn't really have room to store it any more, but didn't want to sell it due to it being his dad's and having sentimental value. So he told me that if I wanted it, I could have it if I came and got it. One way flight to central PA, and a ride back to Kansas City, and it sits in the garage to this day.

It has plenty of little bumps and bruises from use, but not bad for a 1988.

Real nice bike. Looks like it's in pristine condition - especially for being 27 years old.

Nice bikes guys! I'm new to riding I picked up an 08 ninja 250 and my roommate got a 86 rebel 250. I dig the 2 wheel life

Really like the color on that Ninja! And a great starter bike.

Hey thanks man! She's just a little beater bike, but its a whole new experience. I got it pretty thrashed, but it still rides well

I've been riding for about 35 years. Here's a pic of my current bike. A 2006 Honda VTX 1300.

OK I'll be the first to show off his dirt bike.
