....no offense to you, but judging by what you posted, I'm guessing you are under 16. I would recommend not getting on a bike of any kind. even a 250. Why? Because teens around your age tend to make bad judgments while driving a car, imagine if you were to make one on a bike. Read alot of the rider down post, alot of them are from driver error.

If you are stilling looking to get on 2 wheels, get a scooter. 49cc scooters these days can do about 45-50 mph and you can buy a new one for about $2000. That and you only need a driving permit to ride one (I believe you still have to where a helmet though). I know you won’t be as cool (come on, you're only 15, you have like 60 years of life still in you) and you won’t be able to corner as hard, but it the closest thing to a bike.

Just my .02's

$1250 a year for this coverage:



What you think? The only thing that sucks is their Medical(MED) coverage for passengers only goes up to $10,000 and at that much it adds $4000 a year more to my policy lmao

$104 a month still isnt bad... think about it this way, if u do wreck ur bike whats the chances of fixing it??? do what i did and get health insur. so that way u r covered... plus if the wreck is the other persons fault ( which it is in most cases on bikes ) then there insur will pay for it... just be smart about it and go with whatever best fits ur needs... G/L

what do you mean health insurance? as in like health insurance you would have from any decent full-time employer? Does that cover you in an accident? I have full health coverage from my new job (Blue Cross\Blue Shield)

health insurance covers any sort of hospital stay. not just work related. It's saved me atleast a few hundred thousand in just the last 2 years. 4 visits for kidney stones, 1 car accident and some stitches, and an emergency visit for my mystery chest pains

just be careful what you get, sometimes deductibles are stupid high and your better off paying out of pocket if your in good health most the year. avg i have seen for a very good coverage plane with ~$500 deductible is 100/month
