$1000 bike? I don't get that. Either you ride a bike to save money or to get exercise, either way a $300 bike is the way to go. Me I'd go with a older $1000 Honda motorcycle first, then again I buy a $3000 car every 5 years, usually it's still worth $1500 or more resell, had a one time $300 license fee, costs $350/yr to insure and about that much on maintenance. So that's $1000/yr before buying gas. It gets 25 city which is where I mostly drive it which works out to .10/mile more for gas. I could certainly find something cheaper as well but I like AWD, power stuff, A/C and everyday relialibility so I pay 3x what I could up front for a Subaru.
