Is this a good bike for someone 6' and 240 lbs? What about the price? Says it got 18k miles. Says it had a tune up, brakes done, tires replaced. The owner had it for 6 months and says there is no issues.
http://decatur.craigslist.org/mcy/2648682453.htmlNeedless to say my nephew tore up the 1978 KZ250 ltd in about couple months. Most of you guys recommended going at least 650cc for him, but I am glad got him started on that little bike because it felt so much safer that he could not get a speed demon in him. I feel now he is more conscious about how to ride defensively in everyday traffic. I sure did not want his mom to come banging at my door !
Anyway, now that the KZ250 is literally tore up (winter project bike now to fix it up for my wife), looking for a bigger bike for him. Our budget is no more than $1200 (unfortunately). There were a few nice bikes in craiglists, but got scarfed up before I can spell 'bike'. Saw this Katana in Decatur, which is about 80 miles from me. I still do not want a bike that he can get too crazy in. But at the same time I want a bike that can haul him without crying and screaming.
