Default good motorcycle for daily driver (cheap)?

I'm cheap, so I'm looking for some cheap transportation, and on that note gas isn't cheap so I don't want to buy much of it, so a motorcycle seems like a champ play for me. problem is I keep finding them for $3000+ for used ones, wtf. anybody have any suggestions on a good cheap motorcycle to drive around on? (I'm talking preferably $1000 and less, I'm cheap)

I'd pimp a scooter, as long as it does at least 50, that's how fast I am required to go in a 35 by personal code.

too bad boost doesn't do anything for top speed. I'll just get an older 80s bike and put a body kit on it so it's faster.
