nighthawk, rebel or gz250?
im looking for a 250cc bike, i was debating about what to get. its between the nighthawk, rebel, or gz250.
im 16 years old, 5 foot 6 and 155 pounds. im just doing short commutes(some being on gravel country roads)
what is the best bike for the money?
Nighthawk
Go with the Nighthawk. Don't waste your money on a brand new one though. There are plenty of great, low-mile bikes out there. My first bike was a Nighthawk. It was a 2003 with only about 2300 miles on it. I bought it for $1900 and had a blast on it. As with any 250, you may outgrow it pretty quickly. 77 miles per gallon though. Can't go wrong. Personally, I think the rebel and gz look like they're trying to be a big cruiser. Kind of a wan-a-be. The Nighthawk is what it is. A standard motorcycle. Weighing 190lbs, I was able to top out at a little under 70 MPH.
