i need to buy a bike to get in and out of oxford every day,but i cant post on ebay 'cos i dont have enough feedback yet-i need 5-also no ebay account although i have one with paypal. I can spend around £500ish and want up to 500cc.Age is not to important as long as the bikes sound. Is there one out there??

    Hi,

    I'm in the same boat, but I just need to purchase a cheap geared bike to practice for my test on. Any ideas anyone?

  • Surely you do not feedback to buy on e-bay - just bid?


    Alternatively - do it the old way, look in a local paper.

    Get out there and enjoy biking - and if you really want to bike - join us in Chicago next year to ride Route 66 to Los Angeles.

    I passed my test on a suzuki 500cc this was a nice easy bike to ride and control.

    Hi catford,

    I hope that you don't mind but I'm going to move this thread over to the motoring board to see if you will get any more replies over there.

    Have a word with Nick at https://www.forcemotorcycles.com his machines are from Police/MOD/Forces, so well maintained & he knows his stuff!

    Not sure if he's into budget price range, but might point you in the right direction.
