My price range is 2k tops :/ I'm a student at Ohio state they kill you financially here. Already working two jobs. But yeah I realized right now is the best time to buy a bike. They only want 1500 that's why I kind of jumped on the deal. I am looking for f4is now after reading this though so if I can find something within that price range I will definitely do that.

 

Remember to include some money in your budget for riding gear, taxes/reg, and needed repair. You will want to do some maintenance, at minimum, on it before you put it into service.
