Thanks for the advice, one other thing, what’s the maintenance like on these, assuming that the previous owner took decent care of it, how much on average a year? Is it better or worse than on a used cruiser? (eg. Honda Rebel/Shadow)

Are we talking just your average oil change, or does it get more complicated? It would suck to save coin on the initial purchase only have to shell out 5 grand or more a year just to keep it running.

I plan on taking a motorcycle course early next year (@ NAIT), I think this should give a decent handle on what works for me. Then look at picking up something used in early spring. I’ve looked at Kajiji, but are there any other good used sites to get a bike at good value?

Madjack, I’d love some pics, along with any info on mods you’ve done etc.

Thanks for the tips, though i’m surprised to see suggestions for a 500cc bike for a new rider, potential for painful wipe-outs?

Hey madjack, actually, I’m in Edmonton, so yeah, we could meet up easy if you’re willing to let it go for a good price.
