With gas prices now hitting 3.84$/gal for REGULAR here in Georgia, I have begun considering my options. I am 21, in college, and currently drive a 2001 Toyota Land Cruiser with around 165,000 miles. Gets around 10-12 in town...14-15 on the road. (MPG of course) I have already decided that I'd like to sell the Cruiser, but that takes some time. Would probably trade it for a tacoma/4runner of the same year through a dealer, hoping to hold on to 4x4, if I'm going to have a truck/SUV...BUT If I find a good,reliable,efficient,fun car to drive...then so be it.
So, yesterday I found my self at a HONDA dealer. Just checking things out, never really ridden a motorcycle, outside a dirtbike or moped. I'm not the biggest guy, a stocky 5'8. So a 250 would do the trick I think. What can you guys tell me about a honda rebel? Also looked at cbr250's. Like both of them, but really don't really want to spend a ton of money on a bike. 2k MAX, 1k preferably. Cheap, reliable, fuel efficient, and somewhat fun are my only concerns.
Any suggestions on other bikes to check out? Really like the hondas, no idea why...heard alot of good about them.
Any suggestions on how to make insurance/other costs cheaper as well? (i.e. quote the bike as "recreation" with insurance, smaller cc's, etc.)
Thanks for your time.
