    Let me know about Kawasaki ninja 250r?

    Either dealer, or through Craig's List locally so you can go inspect the bike in person before buying. (May want to take along a bike mechanic.) Examples: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/mcy/1346382436.html http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/mcy/1345237485.html...

    Do you need a motorcycle license to ride a Classic 2009 Yamaha Vino or a 49 cc

    Yamaha Vino, Vespa, any size motor, is legally a motorcycle. If is it under 150cc it is a motor-driven cycle. It need to be registered/licensed to be legally driven on public roads. You need an M1 class driver's license or an M1 endorsement on your class C (or whatever) license to legally...

    Should i get the kawasaki Ninja 250R?

    MSF http://www.msf-usa.org/ Absolutely!! Cost? Depends on where you are -- from $0 to over $200. Ask them. The Ninjette comes in two sizes, the smaller pre-2008, and the new larger version. Cruisers are generally shorter. Once you have taken the MSF course you can visit motorcycle...

    How can i convince my dad that the kawasaki ninja 250r is the best beginner bike??

    Best bike for school and back? Short distance. Low speeds. Need to carry books and stuff. And you think a 100 mph Ninja with no storage capacity is the "best"? HA!!! A Yamaha C3 would be the best beginner for you. A Suzuki GZ250 with Leatherlyke saddlebags would allow you to go freeway...

    Do Bike Driver Licenses work in other countries if you are not old enough??

    Generally, a *visitor* can ride/drive whatever vehicle they are licensed for. Pretty near anywhere in the civilized world. But if you become a *resident* you have to get a local license. Just about standard practice everywhere. There are age exceptions. California, for one, does not allow...

    Is it illegal for bikes to pass between two cars on the road?

    Legal in California and many foreign countries. Right turn on red used to be a California only thing but is now legal everywhere in the U.S.. Lane sharing will be coming to your State in the future.

    where can i find a 140/80-15 white wall tire for my bike?

    That's the rear tire of a Suzuki Savage! No such luck. Maxxis used to, but any you find now will be several years old. Dunlop does the 150/90-15 D404 in a www, only a little too big. You can also make your own: http://www.mbzponton.org/valueadded/other/tirepaint.htm Let me know how they...

    Is a honda Rebel replica worth anything, should I buy one for $1300?

    It is worth less than $1300, as that is what the seller is willing to take. "Like New" Honda Rebel 250's go for double that. A 20-year-old Honda Rebel will bring $1300. Ya gotta ask yourself .... if a real Honda sells for more than double, *why* is this guy selling so cheap? "Clean Title"...

    Is the battery required for Vintage Honda XL?

    Street use? Yes, you need a battery to be legal, at least in California -- you would have to check our own State's Vehicle Code to see if you have a similar requirement: CVC 24253. (a) All motor vehicles manufactured and first registered after January 1, 1970, shall be equipped so all...

    Need help finding a Bike!?

    Best for what, killing yourself? The 650R is only capable of 130-140 mph. A 600 race replica will take you over 160 mph, a 1000 will top 180 mph. What are you looking for in a motorcycle -- near death experience, or the actual thing? If you want a motorcycle for simply riding, a 250R will do...

    With the C50T, for $1,150 more, you got WSW tires, windshield, saddlebags, and a passenger backrest; with a gunmetal grey paint job. http://www.powersportsnetwork.com/enthusiasts/new_vehicle_compare.asp?vehicle1=22007&year2=2006&mfg2=4&vehicle2=22050&go=Go

    Save Up or Dirt Bike?

    I have never really cared for running around in circles. I do like the ability to go where I want, when I want. Road Bike! Places to go, people to see, trouble to get into. Wave to your mates as you ride by!

    How do i get a Honda 599? isn't that model not sold in the US?

    Both the 599 and VT600 are discontinued, available used in California. (one 599 and a few VT600s in Cycle Trader.) The VT600 is more widely available used, cheaper, and will be cheaper to insure. The 600F4i is a street racer, more suited for track than street, not normally considered a good...

    Which bike do you recommend for beginner, Nighthawk, Rebel or Buell Blast?

    I have a Suzuki Savage. It's only about 50 pounds heavier than the 250's. People who have had both the Savage and the Blast state that the Savage has less vibrations. I've ridden mine 570 miles in a single day, 65-70 mph, bare handed, not numbed by vibrations. Not too sure about comfortable...
