With a Commando restoration and only one year till my 17th birthday, Im considering buying a smaller bike to learn on before I grab ahold of the 750 combat engine. Ive been looking around but I havent had a lot of luck finding something I want. I know my dad had a Suzuki x6 Hustler (250cc) before his Commando and I think it would be a great bike to learn on ( I also saw one in Jay Leno's garage along with a John Player Special) and even a BSA 441 has came across my mind. Ive searched the internet and havent had much luck finding either for sale at a reasonable price. Ive seen eBay auctions that have ended and were sold for a good price for a very good looking bike, but nothing like that right now. Im still in high school and have a summer job but I wont have an extremely large amount of money to spend on a bike so Im still searching for that one "bargain deal". Just figured I'd post to hear your guys input, everyone here has pretty good ideas so maybe someone can steer me in the right direction. I am most definitely interested in a vintage bike rather than a modern one - its just hard to find what I'm looking for.
Thanks for you help
