Well this is a first! lol! Just wondered if there is any bikers here? im not atm, but will be soon hopfully! im 17 very soon which means i can current drive a 50CC bike but whem im 17 i can get upto 125CC, and i basically have no clue on bikes but want one, so i'd ask! :)
Ive road my bicycles for years and love bikes :p
I went into my 2 local bike shops and asked about bikes, and basically they both only had two, both 125, an Aprillia one and a Honda one, around £3000 new if i remember, and one had second hand ones for £2000 (use [[ LINK REMOVED ]]
Being a first timer, im looking into second hand bikes, looking at bikes upto £2000, prolly wont spend that much tho!
Wondered if anyone could gimmie some pointers? this site here Bike Trader UK is gona be the best second hand place to look, Autotrader is a very respected second hand car book in england, and this is bike version!
If u wana have a look for me, use 'LE10 2LW' as my postcode!
btw whats 'upside down forks?' :conf:
Cheers to anyone that wants to help me devle into the unknown! :)

upside down suspension, for better weight distribution
Like on mountainbikes, the heavy part of the shocks is put at the centre of the wheel (unlike most cars) |

i use to be a huge bike fan...but let me tell you my story..
my cousin just bought a 990cc jigsaw
3 days after he got it...he was riding late at night hitting it pretty hard...mind you he has been riding for 2 yrs on smaller bikes
he was goin pretty fast out in a deserted highway..just cruising
and he was clipped by a car which he was passing...
he was in a coma for 2.5 weeks and during his coma a few people had came up to my aunt and uncle asking them if they would donate my cousins organs if he did not make it. obviously my aunt and uncle said no but had told the police of this. the police cautioned my aunt&unc saying that these days parents with kids who need an organ transplant hire people to clip young kids on bikes so they could potentially receive an organ transplant for their child. how ed up is that? and you know what, in new york...i wouldnt be surprised! just goes to show ya im definitely through with my bike obsession.
oops forgot to say this...
(edit)
cousin came out of a coma and fully recovered...3 fractured ribs, fractured collarbone, minimal head truama. alittle loss of memory but he is fine now...now he just drives a hooked up prelude. |

| ABTSportsline left me his 50cc Aprilia RS50 to take care of while he is in the USAF. great bike, a fun to ride, but it is very tempermental and requires constant maintenance. |
