Buying and 10 year old bike good or bad idea
Discussion
Ok so I really want a bike again but building work on house and 2 kids means budget is almost zero. So I have been saving cash the old school way money in a jar etc (actually thoes tins you can't open without a tin opener). I estimate I have about 800 so far and target 3000 which will take another few years but I often look at late 90s bikes like gsxr 600 and thibk Hmmm 1500 how bad could it be. So over to you guys is a budget bike ever a good idea when you have little or no spanner skills as I do.
That's sort of what I am thinking save 3k buy bike for 2k and then have 1000 to freshen it up etx the enjoy riding. I won't get pcp or finance (just my principle can't afford it dnt buy it) so cash purchase and then enjoy it.
A friend once told me by 20k a bike is like a car at 100k not sure of this is true but I assume if you buy a dud you can still overhaul it
