I would suggest a 1990's Kawasaki Vulcan 500. If it is a late 80's early 90's model they run about that price and are reliable and comfortable to ride - not too small but not too big either and economic on gas. If you are looking for a sports bike I would suggest a Ninja from the same perod, they run a bit more pricy but if you look for a smaller displacement like 500 to 650 cc it should be about the same price. You can check online at motorcycletrader.com

Look at E-BAY to get an idea - lots of pictures there.
Pretty much, any Japanese bike from the early eighties with a 250 to 550cc displacement will give you good service if it has been taken care of. I'd stay away from sportbikes - they become tiring in short order.
Good luck!

Any of the Honda CBs.
For this price it's easy to find a fixer-upper AND buy parts for it. I did it last year. I still need to rebuild my carbs. What I got for $1000: Honda CB750K, Fairing, lowers, highway bar, hard bags, oil & filter, air filter, new tires(mounted and balanced at shop rate, 1 hr each), all new bulbs, safety inspection, registration(including the extra for a vanity plate).

i'd agree with the above. u'd be looking for at least a 20 year old metric cruiser, and 1 even older than that if u wanted a touring type. vulcan's give a good ride. in general, the bigger the cruiser, the more comfy the ride. start looking around at cycletrader.com in ur area for possible bikes.

you could always look into some type of enduro bike. basically a dirtbike (which are very cheap) with lights, blinkers, etc to make it street legal. ranging from 250cc up to 600. i just bought a dr250s and i ride it on trails and to work once in a while.

honda has a lot of options. but its going to be an older bike. if your mechanically inclined you can always find a fixer upper.
