Default I'm buying a Motorcycle

I got my motorcycle permit today. I found a 1975 Honda CB550 for $900 locally (claims to run great) that I might buy. When I get rich I'll buy a nice CBR or harley roadster. My dad has a yamaha V-star. Pretty nice, but I want my own bike incase I ---- up and drop it.

Talkin about the price? I'll go see it and see if it deserves a talking down on price. How much you think it's worth in good shape?

It was nice knowing you. Set aside a few hundred dollars for your wake, I'll roll down for it.

I've been ripping on my 82 Kawi 750 LTD. Just got my permit at the end of last summer, and I'm going to get my license soon here. It's so much fun... but I'm kinda getting bored with this big 'ol clunker. I want a CBR 600... possibly like an F3 (or F4 if I can find a good deal).

my first bike was the original f1 hurricane. That bike saved my life, I know if I had started on my current bike I'd probably be dead right now.
