for 1000 or less i would look for a Honda F3 or F4... solid bikes and will withstand quite a beating.

CB500 nuff said... Mine was a road bike, not a stunt bike, and it was pukka.




Between Josh, Chrisiz and a couple of other french lads, there is nothing I havent seen done on a practically stock cb500....
