What beginner bike could I buy that looks nice and has great resell value?

Opinions on the Kawasaki 250r? I know it's weak and all but it's just to play around with, then later flip for profit.

im buying my self a Bmw S1000rr very soon but i have been riding for a while

honestly just buy a R6 or some sort of 600 you will probably keep it a whole lot longer than you would a little 250

We have gone over this exact scenario about 5 or 6 times.. Do some research first and come back with some real world questions and we might be able to assist.

250 flip for profit? Not very likely. Get a 600 like these guys said f4i are dirt cheap and you ca. Probably make some coin when it comes time to upgrade not to mention its a pretty sharp looking that's what I would go for if I am just starting out.

I was within inches of buying an s1000rr a few years ago. They had just come out. I'm glad i didn't though. I'm done with street riding. It's a sick bike though no doubt.

My first bike was a Suzuki Katana 600 which I snagged for $2200 and it had 3,700 miles on it. Rode it fine and sold easily 6 mos later for $2100.

As much as I love R6s, their stance is a tad uncomfortable for longer rides (I've said this before)

If you're not a complete idiot, you can start on a 600.
