Used Motorcycles????? I just completed a motorcycle safety class in ohio and got my motorcycle endorsement on my licence. I am looking to purchace a motorcycle to continue to learn on. I am looking for some educated sudgestions at to what brands and models to look for. I think I would prefer used as my plan is to upgrade to something new when my truck is paid off in two years. Ideally a bike in the range of $2500 if possible would be good. Although I could go as high as $3500-$4000, based on input recieved here. I should also mention I am a big guy, 6'4 300lbs. I don't want to feel like I am riding a toy. (picturing circus and clowns on small bikes) Also are there any styles of bike that are better for larger people. I really am open to any style. I am just looking to be comfortable. Basically I am looking for a occasion weekday substitue to my gas gussling truck, and mayby a weekend ride here and there. another concideration is I don't want to buy too much bike for my abilities either, but want something that will grow a little with me.

How come used motorcycle prices are staying so high? I have noticed that the price for a used motorcycle is extremely high. I have even seen many USED sport bikes selling ABOVE the MSRP. What is going on? Is it that they feel they should get their money back because they didn’t use it allot? Or is it that they only wanted it long enough to get the next newest bike and feel that they deserve their money back? This is getting out of control. I will add more details if needed.
Checking a Used Motorcycle by Covering the Exhaust? I have been told that one way of checking the condition of a used motorcycle if you are planning to buy it is to cover the exhaust with your palm or the soul of your feet. If the motorcycle dies, even if you rev it, then the engine is already weak. The higher the cc, the stronger the resistance of the exhaust with your palm or soul. I just want to know if there is any truth to this and what the explanation for this is. Thank you very much.
