Quote:You should be able to find a used Savage for under 2k. In Cali you get plenty of ride time and get your moneys worth, I'm lucky to get 6 months here in CT. If you like a sportier style the Buell Blast is a small cheap decent bike. Supposed to get 70mpg.
Yeah, I'm lucky to live in San Diego where it's warm all season, but sometimes the weather can be very unpredictable from month to month. I did check out the Buell Blast and have researched on it, but unfortunately that bike is a HD. The Blast is a hit or miss bike as you can get one that is unreliable with all sorts of problems or get one that has none. So I find it not a good choice.
I live in San Diego and I've checked craigslist. There's just two listings of the savage and not much to offer. These bikes aren't very common in my city.
That's why I picked to get a new one and luckily landed a nice deal at the dealership. But I fell short trying to finding a co-signer and I'm trying to figure out who can co-sign with me.
Quote:well now I think your decision is clear. If you really are a poor student then you should get a used bike with as low miles as you can get, not too hard to find.
I work hard just like everyone else here. I'm a student so I don't make a six figure salary, but I learn to save up my money. I did have a used bike and I end up spending way too many days fixing the bike between my busy schedule of working two jobs and going to school. I didn't enjoy it because I wasn't riding it.
