How much would it honestly cost me for a Kawasaki Ninja 250 '08?

Im 16 getting a permit very soon, working at a summer job and when the summer is over, going to work at a local pet store or grocery store (part time because of school, so ill be getting minimum wage..) By the end of the summer, i will have about 1,300. As you can see, im looking at a ninja '08 but of course thats not set in stone because i am only 16. But I am really dedicated to have the time for it and I am trying to get the money now. My dad said he will probably put me on his insurance, but since it is a motorcycle and I am young, I'm not sure how much the insurance is... Also, I have read 10,000 people say the Ninja 250 is a really good beginner bike, so if anything i would buy a used one. How much would the used bike, insurance, equitment (helmet, etc), and locks for the bike cost in total?

Thxx a lot

The true cost of owning a motorcycle?

I have my eye on a bike (2009 Honda Rebel 250), and am wondering what the true price is of owning a bike.
I know there is insurance(I am 18, with a clean record. It should be cheap?), a helmet(not sure how much a good, quality helmet would run), DMV costs???...and is there anything else? I don't want to buy anything that ISN'T mandatory.

how much does motorcycle insurance normaly cost?

im 17 and im going to buy a yamaha r6 or a honda cbr600rr this month and im wondering about how much insurance would cost. the website quotes take forever to get so id just like to know how much other bikers pay for their insurance.

Do I have to be licensed to buy a motorcycle from the dealership?

Short, simple and to the point...

Do I have to be licensed to buy any type of motorcycle from lets say the Honda dealership before I can purchase a bike?

I am trying to buy a CBR600RR nothing more powerful...I was hoping to buy it and then have a friend help me take it home by putting it in their truck or car and then I can teach myself to ride it in our big empty parking lot at work.
EDIT: Ya, sorry I forgot to put extra details in...Don't worry I am taking the MSF Course either this Summer or Spring, because my friends told me it will save me a lot more money on insurance.

Desperately NEED help with financing motorcycle question.?

Hi everyone,

First off, I'm not asking this to be belittled or put down so if that's your only reaction, shut the **** up.

Ok, so when I was just 18 years old, having absolutely no comprehension of finance, my best friend and I decided to buy two shiny new Yamaha R6 motorcycles! Fun, huh? Well now at 21 and three years down the road that one mistake is the single largest I have made in my life.

For one, the bike was bought using a credit card not a loan... I didn't know this until the credit card arrived at my house. The APR on this card... 29.65%. This two was never told to me while I was sitting in the managers office smiling from ear to ear thinking about all the joy this purchase would bring me.

So after three years, I have paid GE Money Bank ,255.65.

The bike brand new was 9k.

I still owe 9k.

I can't do this anymore, twice I saved up 2k+ to take big bites out of the debt only for it to slowly but surely rise back up again. It is impossible for me to pay my way out of this.

What are my options, damage to credit is of no more concern for me, but I will not go as far a bankruptcy. Please help me before I just decide to commit insurance fraud and bury the bike in the desert and report it stolen. (joke)

Do you believe government has the right to tell us what to do with OUR own bodies?

For example, you MUST wear a seat belt, You cannot take any drugs except those that gov. allows you, you must wear a motorcycle helmet, you must get vaccinations gov tells us(children), soon to come-you must buy health insurance.etc,etc,etc.

Notice that all of the above mentioned examples and the hundreds more are ALL punishable by a monetary fine. Anyone else feel as though government should stay out of peoples business and not try to make decisions for the masses?

How can I buy a street bike with no credit? –CLICK if you ride a motorcycle!?

I want to get an 08 or newer yamaha r6.I have a part time job making a little over minimum wage and I am going to start stripping a few nights a month. I am almost 19 and would like my parents not to know about the job, but if they find out, whatever. So pretty much I am trying to figure out how I can manage this on my own. I have no credit, but I am responsible. Also I have a clean driving record and am on good student discount for insurance on my car.

What would payments look like for a 8-10,000 bike?
Also what would full coverage insurance be like (approx) a month?

What do you know about motorcycle insurance?

I spoke with my auto insurance agent this morning (at American Family). She said the following:

1. Full coverage insurance on an everyday 2004 (500cc) Honda Motorcycle would run me about 0/year.

2. I can't get any kind of coverage on a sport bike until I've had my motorcycle license for 10 years; and even if I did, it would cost me ,000/year.

Please tell me everything you know about motorcycle insurance. Do I even need it? I want to buy a used sport bike (600cc or less) and spend around k for it. If something happens, it's not like I'm wrecking a k new car or even my primary transportation - and the cost to fix it wouldn't be that bad. Even if it was, at ,000/year for insurance, I might as well just take my chances, right?
I'm a 22 year old male. I will be taking the motorcycle safety course in late spring or early summer this year. I will then get my motorcycle license.
My issue is that I CANNOT GET insurance for a sport bike, even if I was willing to pay ,000. They said I need to have a license for 10 years and I'm not willing to wait around for a decade.

Who will give me coverage on a sport bike for cheap being an inexperienced rider?

Sport Motorcycles?

I am looking to buy a sports bike, motorcycle at the end of the summer, and I am curious, what brands are there other than Kawasaki, honda, suzuki, and yamaha, b/c at Kawa, i found a ninja 250R, and it suited me better, I have 3600$ to spend, and I don't need anything too powerful. Also I am 16 years old, can I use a seperate insurance from my parents? Or must I be under theirs? Also, where is the best place to buy? Straight from Kawasaki, or a dealer of many moto's?
I forgot to mention i will have 3.6k cash, or w/e, so no loan, i will buy on site, if that helps, and im not gonna pop anything crazy. Also, I already have helmet jacket boots, etc.

How much would I spend?

Okay, so I was wondering, since everyone has told me that if I were to buy a motorcycle, buy it used. (I'll be 18+ by the time I'd get one.) I a bit over a year. LOl okay...i turn 17 in like april. but whatever. i would take the classes for learning. i would use the proper gear such as helmet gloves boots. (i believe in wearing a helmet. i kind of like my brain inside my skull) okay, so i really like the V-Star Classic. But it's a tad bit expensive. plus i have to think of insurance and gear. So if i were to get it used, about how much would i pay? and is used safe?
oh and i would like it to travel to the university. depending on where i live of course.

How do i buy a motorcycle?

Im 18, i have my vehicle licnese, and my mororcycle permit. I have a descent paying job, I pretty much know nothing about buying or paying for a bike. I want a 08 Yamaha r6. I have a good idea what the insurance payments would be, but not bike payments, the price for my bike is from anywhere between 7,000 and 10,000. And i plan to pay monthly of course. Yeah any help on a good idea of what i would be paying would be great, and also, if someone could explain putting a title on my bike and putting it in my name and stuff like that to me that would be great. Thanks alot

Average rate for motorcycle insurance?

I am looking to buy my first motorcycle but before I do I need to figure out how much insurance will cost but to be honest I don't know much about motorcycle insurance. I was hoping if someone can tell me what the best deals will be. The bike will be a Suzuki SV650 if that helps and I am 22 year old college student. I know that it will be higher if I haven't payed the bike completely off yet and I am planning on taking a safety course so I think that will lower it, still... can anyone help me figure this out?

I’m thinking of buying a motorcycle but I have a lot of questions should I do it or not.?

I'm 17 years old and I just got my first job by the end of the summer I'll have somewhere around 3.5 grand and I'm keeping the job during the school year on saturdays and sundays, so I was thinking instead of me wasting all my money on computer parts building a PC like I was planning on or a game console or anything why not buy something I might need in the future and would make things easier for me so I thought MOTORCYCLEEEEEEE my dad used to ride one in Afghanistan and highly encouraged me but now I think he's having some second thoughts.. My mother I know is going to have a heart attack thinking of me riding it, and pretty much all of my friends think I'm an idiot for wanting to ride one. I was never scared about riding a bike before I always thought as long as you're prepared mentally, have the skill, and good gear your life isn't in extreme danger, plus I've seen more car crashes than bike crashes and I'm not afraid. How should I convince my family that I'm ready I was thinking just taking some motorcycle lessons and then proving to them I'm able to do it. I want to ride the motorcycle from and to school in the city I live in queens so it's about a 30 minute trip.

One last question how much do you think insurance will cost me I'm 17 year old male living in NYC planning on getting a Kawasaki Ninja 250R.

What is the cost of motorcycle insurance?

I currently am looking into buying a yamaha v-star 650cc. I have been to the progressive website, but i do not wish to grant them access to pull my credit profile (just dont think its neccessary for quoting insurance). So now i am asking everyone.

Motorcycle Finance Rates??

Can anyone tell me what a good rate on a motorcycle loan would be? I am thinking about buying a new Yamaha motorcycle and it looks like the best rate they can do is about 9% which seems a little high? I still hear about people getting car loans for about 5%, are motorcycle loans usually higher for some reason? I think a signature loan from the bank might be a better way to go because I think I might be able to get a better rate plus I wouldn't have to have full coverage insurance.

Is there a way to register a motocross bike to be able to drive on the street?

I just bought a Yamaha YZ, and I was hoping to register it so I can drive it on the street. Mainly just so I can get motorcycle insurance through my insurance company if I want. It would be nice for when I rent Harley's and stuff. Also so I can drive it down the street to my buddy's if I wanted.

Does anyone know what I would need to do so I can do this? I live in Washington State.

Should I buy a Motorcycle? And what kind?

I am an 18 year old female. 5'5 and 110 pounds. I admire sport bikes, mainly the Suzuki GSXR. I currently have a 2008 Mustang, and my parents pay for the payments, gas, and insurance. Now I'm contemplating buying myself a motorcycle. My parents are against it, so I know i'll be paying for everything.
I plan on signing up for Rider Courses to learn how to ride, and being safe.
I just want to hear some feedback on any experience of riding. Is it worth it? What bikes would you recommend for beginners, such as myself? And so on...

What kind of motorcycle should I get?

I learned to drive a motorcycle when I visited India (youtube: India driving) where the bikes typically ranged from 100cc-450cc. My first motorcycle there was a 150cc, but I rented and drove motorcycles up to 350cc. While i was there i faced almost every traffic, weather and road condition you can imagine. Now that i am back in the US and have moved to California, I am very very excited to get a Motorcycle! I've signed up for the safety course to help w/ insurance costs, and so that I can get liscenced and test drive bikes when i start shopping for one.

I am interested in buying a used motorcycle that will have longevity as well as resale value. I am 6', 175lbs and 22 years old. I live in the San Jose and want a motorcycle that accomodates everyday riding as well as road-trips. I want to be able to ride my motorcycle to work, to the gym, to San Francisco, to LA, etc. etc. Needless to say, riding comfort is important. What should i get?

0-60 in One Month?

UK answers please.

I have one month to buy and learn to ride a motorcycle from scratch. Am I looking at the impossible, or do I stand a chance?

I am 20 and have a full, clean car licence.

As far as I know, I need to (please correct me if I'm wrong):
do something with my licence*
take another theory test
take my CBT
buy a motorcycle of max 125cc**
insure it and tax it ***
buy a helmet and "leathers"
learn to ride it
take the practical motorcycle test

* - What exactly do I need to do with my licence? I need to add a motorcycle to it somehow, but will this affect my qualifications as a car driver?

** - What sort of price can I expect to pay? Are there any particularly good or bad bikes I should look for/avoid? I'm looking for cheap, reliable and easy to maintain myself.

*** - How much can I expect to pay? Is there really a difference in insurance prices between step-through frames and crossbar frames?

Ta in advance,
Dac
