answer:Depends on where you live. My advice: get one that’s used. Learning the proper care of a motorcycle is best applied to a bike that is 5 or more years old. That way, you won’t curse the day you bought it when it becomes scratched by dropping it, or forgetting to remove the disk-lock on the brakes. My first bike was a Yamaha 500 special from 1984, purchased in 2002. It’s previous owner was a man who lost an arm in a farm accident.
