Life on 2 Wheels!
If you are looking for a motorcycle, but don’t have unlimited money to spend, you will need to be smart in your search. Finding a decent motorcycle between $5,000 and $7,000 actually isn’t impossible and you might be surprised by the level of quality you can find in that price range.

 
Here are a few suggestions for finding the right bike on a budget:

2015 Honda CBR300R ABS

Coming in at $4,899, this starter bike is a steal. With a low seat height, skinny, lightweight, easy clutch and small displacement, the CBR is perfect for a rider’s first bike and will offer plenty of bang for your buck. Featuring a 300cc engine, this bike easily speeds up to 60-70 mph and has a nimble performance, giving new riders the chance to learn on a bike that is both reliable and fun.

KTM 390 Duke

Featuring a 373cc engine pumping out 44 horsepower, the little brother to the 1290 Super Duke R is a mini-Streetfighter and has all the sharp handling characteristics KTM is famous for. At just under $5,000, the KTM 390 is a bargain and a great choice for beginners that want more than just a starter bike. Weighing in at 306 pounds, the KTM is lightweight, easy to maneuver and just plain fun to ride.

Qlink Adventure 250

If you are looking for a cheap cruiser to get you started, the Qlink 250 is a safe bet. Powered by a 248cc V-Twin engine, this bike has a vintage cruiser design with classic lines and a raked front end. Featuring chrome pipes and spooked wheels, the Qlink 250 gives the impression of a much more expensive cruiser while still delivering solid performance.

Suzuki TU250X

With a classic design that is part sport bike and part cruiser, the TU250 from Suzuki is an affordable high-quality bike that gives new riders a great return on their investment. At just $3,799, the TU250 is a lightweight bike with a design reminiscent of Universal Japan Motorcycle (UJM) of the 1960s and 1970s. This bike features a single-cylinder 249cc engine with fuel efficiency of about 82 mpg.
