Pretty much anyone would think of that, lol. Unfortunately...
I need a 250 that is somewhat decent. And I do not have more than 1500 to spend. Cannot find a used Japanese roadbike here for that that is at least a 250 and also is dependable with good tread left on tires and padding left on brakes. My options are very limited. And I certainly have looked high and low. I've bought Chinese before, and can turn a wrench. 'Nuff sed. |

OK, I found it. It's west of Tyler a little bit. From Dallas east on I-20, to around Van, Tex., then south a few miles...ARH

yeppers. dallas is like 100+ miles from me.
but thanks for taking the time to look around. what really sucks is I had a shot at an older honda nighthawk 250 for cheap, but people put up online ads sometimes without phone numbers, and then your emails go unanswered. |

I cannot make the trip, unfortunately. No transportation, no extra money for bus, no time to get away. I take care of a very sick relative full time.

Well if I was closer I would take a ride to let you try it out. Sounds like you have a full time job on hand. The Hawk would be a good reliable bike that is affordable. I did a lot of research before buying my Hawk. My decision was based on price, the availability of parts through RPS or CSC at about half the price and of course this site for support.

If you have a Honda dealer in town, you can try to sit on a CRF250L. It should be pretty close to how the Hawk would feel.
