Title: Best bike for me
Post by: Jan on July 19, 2005, 11:29:48 PM
Hi all,
I am posting this message because I am hoping someone would be able to give me some advise.

The thing is that I would be very interested in getting a classic bike and I am considering buying one. However I never had a bike before (except for a few 50ccs) and I am not sure what would be the best bike for me. There for I am hoping that someone would be able to give me some advise or give me some remommodations on some models I should consider.

Some of my preferences are:
-The bike should have a classic look but it don't have to be very old.
-It should be LOUD ;)
-The bike should not be too big since I am not....
-I am not really interested in fixing engines etc so it should be easy to mainain, reliable and robust and spares should be easily obtainable.
-I would probably be prepared to spend around BP 3000

Well, if anyone have some advise that would be great. Also if you know other good sources for buying/selling bikes then please let me know.....

Your best bet would be a Royal enfield bullet .You could buy one new for less than 3000 and have classic looks and design but with some modern improvements .
