SBK15, there are a couple other bikes you might want to consider.

The Suzuki S40 at 650cc, and the Buell Blast at 500cc.

I haven't found many used S40s around here, and believe me I looked, but I found a few Buell Blasts at great prices. The Blast was the only bike below 650cc's that I seriously considered.

Here is an article you may want to look at when considering budget bikes in that size range:

Oh, I'd love to get a big bike, like a 100cc+ Cruiser. But, the law forbidds me from going over 650. If i could get ANY cruiser, it would be the Warrior..ah what a bike.
The law forbids you? What kind of fouled up laws do you have down there in TN that keeps under 650cc?
Next year i'll only be 15...and i can only go up to a 650 wich, i agree 650cc is a LITTLE much for 15 year old...

I've narrowed my choices to this:
1.) Honda Hornet 599
2.) Kawasaki Ninja 250R ('08 model)
3.) Suzuki SV 650S
4.) Honda XR650L
5.) Suzuki DR650SE
6.) Kawasaki KLR650 ('07+ model)
7.) Kawasaki 500R/650R
8.) Yamaha FZ6
I'd still want to narrow it down somemore, but it's to hard to choose lol.
