Mostly posting for shits and giggles, I am trying to see if it is possible to buy a road ready bike for $1000 or less. Not looking for a project bike or a $1k bike that I have to spend another $1k to make it road worthy. I know there are usually good deals to be had around $2k but want to see what’s out there for cheap.
What I’m seeing on CL is leading me towards a mid 80’s UJM of some sort, perhaps an older Pre gen ninja. Obviously for this price I am not expecting a garage queen but definitely needs to be mechanically sound, not a basket case that needs a bunch of work to make roadworthy.
EDIT: No longer actively looking due to recent change in commute situation
