Welcome!

Try this for starters. Afterwards, do a search of your own.

Fair price: MSRP out the door (including tax, title and license) is generally considered the "best deal" on a new bike, unless it's a carry over from last year (oine that didn't sell before the new models came out). Hope this helps.

Hi man. Get a 750..... why would you want to go back to a 600?

http://www.bartlesvillecyclesports.c...40I58JPMQ999R0

Lets see, why would he want to go back to a 600?


hrmmmmmm:

1.) You CANNOT outride the capabilities of a modern day 600, especially on the street.
2.) Price is cheaper.
3.) Insurance is cheaper.

There's 3 off the top of my head.

He hasn't been back. I'd guess we didn't answer the question very well.

At 21yo ? I'd say you're doing alright.

$1300 for a 21 yr old with full coverage is very good.
