I'm starting to get ready to take my course in June, and will be wanting a bike once I finish the course.  I'm looking for a 250 cc cruiser, because I like the cruiser style and I'm short!  Feel free to message me if you have one!

My preferences would be one that's not too old, 5 years or newer, but I'll consider other options.

Thanks,

Tracey

RG,

Give Dan @ Proride motorcycle training a call. Tell him Lee Heaver sent you and ask him if he is selling one of his Honda Rebels. All Dan deals with is Honda Rebels since they use them for training. At the very least he can get you a GREAT deal on one, i'm sure. Hope this helps.

I learned on a Honda Rebel and they are by far the best beginners bike out there.

PM sent. check your messages.

You can also try Craigslist - some good deals can be had there on used bikes, but best to get a bike-savvy person to help you check out any bike's condition. 

I started on a Rebel and I loved it, thought because I was short I'd never get anything larger.  Then I went to a 600 Honda VLX, then to a Virago 1100 and now on an HD Softail Deluxe.  So, just remember there are lots more options out there than you might think. 

Do your 'butt test' on lotsa different makes 'n models before yah make up yer mind, is my advice.  Good Luck!
