I’ve been looking at smaller displacement bikes while I wait for the date of my MSF course to arrive. The Eliminator can be had for a fairly low price compared to the 250cc bikes which go for full msrp or close to msrp for used. Would the uniqueness of the Eliminator being the only 125 bike be a problem with resale down the track?
The other thing I have noticed is better deals further away from where I live. Chicago is 120 miles away but seems to have much better deals than local. Is that too far to ride a bike home after buying it?
Thanks,

June 26, 2008 at 5:43 am #7868AnonymousGuestI was figuring that 120 miles on a bike your not familiar with could be a pita. Certainly cheaper than trying to ship the thing though.

NOT fast enough for the freeway (top speed ~65 mph on the flat with no headwind) but a great little in-town and back roads bike.
The kind of bike you might want to keep as a second bike for running to the stores or a non-freeway commute.
That said, a 250 would be better as some are freeway capable and can carry a passenger at in-town speeds.
