    Thumbs up Wanted: Street bike around $1,000 in the Burlington (VT) area

    A buddy of mine just got his endorsement and is now on the hunt for a bike. Anyone know of a bike in the greater Burlington area that would suit a beginner? He's got cash and is ready to roll.

    I know someone with a CX500...


    There is also a CL500 for sale on craigslist and the guy will take $250.

    I emailed him and he said "$250, come and get it in the next 2 days." He is over 2 hours away so I passed. He just wants it gone. He said the paint is faded but pipes and chrome seem good, seat is ripped... Sounds like a good deal to me.

    The GL has the monoshock in the back and a better electrical system than the CX.

    In my garage in CT right now.

    Runs great . Valid Vt reg and insurance plus inspection sticker.

    I can grab it and toss it on the trailer anytime.

    What you see in the picture is what it looks like.

    Many of those are 3 hours away. None of the ones in the "Burlington area" are running, and the ones that are running are at least an hour away. But maybe you weren't able to read my OP. Thanks for assuming I wasn't able to search CL.

    I'm looking for bikes that might not be listed on CL.

    Ok so... I have a 1997 DR350 that I might be willing to let go. It is not street legal but could be made so. Needs a carb cleaning too (although I may get to that this weekend)
    Let me know if you are interested.

    You may be limiting yourself if you/ he are not willing to travel. An hour away for a good deal is much better than staying local and get a POS. I've traveled to NY, NJ, PA for a good deal. Then again, my wife says I have a problem. Sometimes it is just gas money if it turns out to be a turd. At least you get to see the country and the people you meet - that is entertainment alone.
