Really I need to locate a bike I can look at/ride before I buy. Looking for el-cheapo $500-$700.

Here is the reason. The wife wants to learn how to ride. So we are setting you the MRA course then get here a little 200-350 older bike so if it falls and goes "boom" we don't have to cry or she does not get upset and quit. I do not care if the bike I find has already fallen, as long as it can still get back up

I have a ulterior motive. When she feels comfortable on a bike to go riding and all, I will give her my 2005 C50T and I get to get a 2006 C90T

So I need to know how to locate one. Newspapers only are listing HD and 2-50K bikes, cycle-trader in the price range that is acceptable are mini dirt/enduro bikes, dealers have been smoking crack for what they are pricing the old trade-ins...kind of can't figure how to find the el-cheapo, I know they have to be out there darn it
