try your local area on craiglist.

but of course, buying a used bike is always risky.

However buying a brand new bike is always more expensive and is still a crapshoot. :wink:

NO NO NO NO, not good first bikes, to fast, too powerful and not safe for new riders. Well there is one GSXR you could check out, take a look at this, other than this one i wouldnt advise and Gixxer or CBR as a first bike.


new rider GSXR http://www.motorbikes.be/en/Suzuki/1988/GSX-R%20250/

I'm pretty sure that the 250 gixxer is not available in the states.

I'll echo the other recommendations about 600 sportbikes as starter bikes. Read the stickies on this forum for more info, then make your choice.

The best place to find used bikes in the Phoenix area are Craigslist, Cycletrader online, and the local paper. Between those three, you should be able to find whatever is available locally.

beats me if it is or not, but i do like posting that link as a n00b friendly gsxr, its mostly a joke.
