Its not a 2 stroke...but its a motorcycle

[$evy]

Last summer I was working for my dad returning some stuff to another guy...and I noticed a bike sitting in his garage....a Yamaha SECA 750 4 cyl....he said $600 and its mine, motor was completely went through, runs great, just needs a battery. I don't know what year it is...the seat is a little ripped and it could use a new exhaust system...what do you motorcycle nuts think? I want something that is onna get good gas milage, but insurance isnt going to bite my ass....I will be 17 when I buy it...

[$evy]

Found a picture of what it looks like....

This is it...its pre-85 bike...like 83-84...I think it looks kinda kick ass...

The one that I'm looking at is in a little crappier condition though...but ohh well...I'm in it for the gas milage...ohh and the speed lol

They look like a pretty cool nike for being early 80's. plus 600$ is a heck of a deal for almost any bike or quad in my opinion. Doesn't saound like it needs much work so I would say go for it!
If you are concerned with your insurance, give them a call and see what kind of qoute they give you, then it won't take you by surprise!

lol yeah insurance I know will be a problem....can a person under 18 have insurance on something? Or do I need a parent signature?

My brother is rebuilding a motorcycle like that. Its a honda cb750. That yamaha looks like a pretty cool bike.

I don't know about your state, but here in NY if you are old enough to drive (16) then you are old enough to purchase your own insurance, young drivers just pay a very high premium, which is why a lot of young people get on their parent's insurance until they are 18 or so (not that the price drops much, at least not in NY), but by then at least you can get a job and afford it

[$evy]

Yeah, I'm hoping that this summer I will have enough to buy it and pay my own insurance, then drop it in winter...and save up and ride it next summer then sell it for $ for college..

hey that thing looks pretty cool maby you could just take the motor out and stick it into a lil moped or something like that lol.

[$evy]

haha my friends figured it out today...some motorcycles get like 70 MPG...now mult. that by a what..7 gallon tank? Or mabye a 10 I don't know what it has...

thats between 490-70 mpg....thats awesome I think.

[terboed]

as for the mpg my r6 got anywhere from 35-50 depending on how hard i riped on it. and motorcycle gas tanks are not that big. usualy around 4-4.5 gallons, and you will most of the time only use 3.5 gallons between fill ups. unless you like running out of gas.

i think you will be surprised at the cost of insurance for bikes. i was expecting at least $200.00 a month. then i found out it was only $25.00 a month. but it all depends on how your insurance company rates motorcycles. some do it by cc's and others do it by the style of bike, touring, cruiser, sport and so on. mine was rated on cc's and the r6 being a 600 i got a good rate.

another thing you might want to look into if your able get a motorcycle licence. i dont know how it is where you live but in oregon you have to be 21 unless you take a three day motorcycle taining corse. and even then you have to be 18.

just something to think about.
