First time buyer seeking advice.

[DasAuto]

Hey guys. I've been oggling sport bikes for a while now and am ready to get one......or two. I realize that these are different from cars and very dangerous. I plan to buy a learning bike like a 250 or a 500, (I have a line on a 500) but I came across this advanced bike and figured since it seems like a good deal, I can buy now and ride when ready. Since I have some cash now, I figure I can buy a starter bike and an advanced bike at the same time while I have the cash. Anyway, I was hoping you guys could shed some light on a particular add on craigslist. Owner claims it to be a "custom 1320" Advice appreciated, thanks. http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/mcy/2832558515.html

ninja 250 or 500- good choices. resale value is good.

250 if you're riding solo. 500 is still a 2cylinder and thumpy and weak feeling. If you want to take a leap, I've seen 500cc buell blasts going for about 1000-1500. 250 ninjas go for about 1200 - 2500 depending on year,condition and the greed factor. 500 ninjas seem to be going closer to the 2500 mark. The 600 4 cylinder produces smoother power IMHO .
