Hey all,
Found used 2015 cb500f with 2500 miles for $4200-negotiated down from $4800.
Going to look at it friday.
This will be my first bike, so I'm a bit nervous about finally buying one. Am I making a smart choice? Good first bike?
My main goal is to do some fun backroads take the long way travelling. This will fit the bill correct?
Anyways, any info is much appreciated. Just want to make sure I'm making a good choice.
Edit:
this is the exact bike I wanted for a first bike.
I’m so happy with my purchase. I’ve got new boots and Kevlar lined jeans coming in the mail. Tomorrow I get my license plate from the DMV.
The guy I bought the bike from was awesome. I told him I was a bit nervous so we went into the parking lot across the street so I could get acclimated to the bike. Then he took me for a ride around town on the 25mph roads. He took time to show me some basic maintenance like cleaning and lubing the chain, checking oil and breakfluid. He even wrote me an informational packet on the bike. He seemed to be very meticulous in the upkeep and care for his bikes.
I told him at the end of the transaction that he was the exact person I wanted to buy a bike from, he told me I was the exact person he wanted to sell a bike to lol!
I’ve been taking the bike through my neighborhood to a parking lot near my house to practice my slow speed maneuvers and to just get more comfortable on the bike before I start traveling with other traffic soon.
gotta say… I’m very happy!
