5 Under 5: The Best Sub-$5,000 Motorcycles For 2015 (ride, bike, engine, buy)

[JD59]

I like the KTM 390 Duke for 4999.00. I did own a 250 KTM motorcross at on time back in the 80's.


News, Jason Avant said something I've learned as a noob - you don't need a whole lot of money to get into motorcycling. And while many experienced riders will tell you that your first bike should be a used beater, there's a lot to be said for the benefits of new technology and engineering - and a warranty. If you're looking to buy your first bike - or maybe you just want to add a cheap model to your stable - here's our list of this year's best bikes for under $5,000.

I bought a used Suzuki Burgman 650cc scooter for about $3,500 a couple of years ago. I have been riding it about 3,000 miles per summer. I find it to be an amazingly capable motorcycle. It simply does everything except dirt roads really well. The dirt road problem is caused by the Metzler almost slick street tires.
