I found a buyer off craigslist who needed a 150cc scooter body and wheels and had a good engine to swap on. I felt good to sell it and have someone else have it to enjoy and cash in my pocket. Though I do miss that scooter sitting there in the backyard, even more so riding it. I'm a Car Stuff podcast listener on howstuffworks.com and on their first motorcycle buying episodes they mentioned this website. Its pretty cool you can put in your height and see what it would be like to sit on a bike and with your feet down on the ground. Funny part was putting in 4 foot height and it just says "too short to touch pegs" LOL cycle-ergo.com/

I would not get a bike prior to 2008. Fuel economy on some of those are horrible. I've got my chinese 125cc beast, lol, and perhaps would get another bike with chain drive, so I can modify the sprocket. The Suzuki TU is a good one. I'm gonna start a new thread about it!

After looking at different 250cc motorcycles and comparing ergonomics I like having more leg room angle. i I've been eyeing the TU250X Suzuki and even have it as my background. But it looks like it might be more of a crampt ride for me even though it has a higher seat height. I still need to test ride one to know for sure.
Honda Rebel 250 is a little bigger knee angle and there are a lot on craigslist with low miles under 10,000 miles.
I'm seriously considering the Yamaha V-Star 250 for the leg room which is the biggest knee angle for me.
Good thing is all these three bikes are around 4,400 bucks or less new from the dealer.
Though in my area the TU250X is hard to find. I went to a dealer and they sold the one they had and said they had to put together one in its place.
Seeing all the bikes there inside and out in the parking lot there with just one TU gave me the idea that maybe they sell out pretty quick.
I can't find them on craigslist either unless its an older model name. But theres a crap ton of Rebel's!

Says right there, "2002 Suzuki SV650" On my page it says "Please do not hot link images" in that spot. But I see it where you typed it again.
