I bought used for a few reasons.

Firstly it was a hell of a lot cheaper, and considering I can't ride bike bigger than 350cc till im 21(in 8 months) there was hardly any point spending lots on a bike that would be replaced and relegated to a slow lane cruiser in a short time.

Secondly it gives one a good insight into motorcycle maintenance and mechanics that can come in very useful in the future. But then thats just me, cause im very interested in this topic.

I buy new, I would never buy a used bike cause people sell their bike for a reason and most of the time there is something wrong with it. Like me for an example, im selling my Suzuki right now cause I have problems with it, and im hoping someone is dumb enough to buy it, sure I will feel bad after I sell it cause I ripped someone off, but I will get over it.

I guess the phrase "What goes around comes around" doesn't mean much to you...

Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

You're a friggin jerk. It's people like you who "pee" me off and make life misurable for somone. Theres just no reason for it.. Only stupidity and immaturity.

I honestly don't know why you are still here on these boards. You obviously have a different mindset than we do here and would probobly be better off finding a new forum with others who have a similar mindset. :roll:
