i want to buy a cheap used bike where do i start. auctions? where?

 

Try:

www.cycletrader.com

Local Newspapers,

Go to motorcycle forums and post in the "Wanted" similar to this website.

Go to local dealerships while that is usually hit or miss but you never know, they might have something you are looking for.

Cycletrader.com is where I found my bike. Ebay has bikes too but Cycyletrader is less hassle and is more defined for your search.
