Howdy,
So our friend Sara ("psuedo") is looking for a good starter bike. She will be taking the MSF course soon and is educating herself about various bikes. So I thought I would start this thread so we could all chip in with any info about potential bikes out there. She is about 5'3". I'll go first
Here is a 1990 Kawasaki Zephyr 550. The current owner tells me it has less than 12K miles on it, runs good and is clean. It has a small ding in the gas tank. I like the blue but have no idea what colors Sara likes. He tells me it weighs right at 400lbs, about the same as the Suzuki GS500E's. I don't know much about this particular model of bike, so I'll do a little research. He is asking $1500 for it.
Anyone else know of a good bike for sale? The preference is for a bike ready to ride and not for one that is going to take some work to get in shape.
Adios,
