You may have a hard time finding a 600cc+ bike for $2-2.5K but have you tried Cycle Trader? Their advanced search allows you to put in a price range along with other search parameters. By the way, I just bought a Suzuki s40 (652cc single cylinder) for $3200 which I found here in the Houston area through that site. I bought it from a dealer so tax, title, and license kicked the price up about $500 but my bike only had 61 miles on it. The acceleration is really good. Top end is not as good as some other bikes in the 600-650cc range but it can cruise 65-70 on the freeway all day long and it’s top speed is supposed to be around 87-90mph (I haven’t driven it that fast….yet). Check them out.
