Looking for some advice. I'm going to go look at the bike below later tonight.
Think it might be a good bike for the price? I'm not looking for anything real big or fancy. Just a good dependable bike to get me to work (15 min ride and at times needing to go 50-55mph) and something to get around town on.

Does anyone what what kind of gas millage I might expect?
Any Idea what the top speed might be?

Thanks guys.

Seems high priced to me. Also, depending on your size you may want a bigger bike. This Yamaha 1100XS might be worth a look for the money

Otherwise, IMO, if you plan to spend that much and are looking to save $$$ on gas, go look at some used scooters. There are scooters out there that can fill your needs for around a grand, oh, and they get 90+ mpg.

Price seemed too hight to me as well. I didn't end up going to look at it.
I'm 5'10" 155lbs. I've had my endorsement since january of this year.
I recently sold my honda 82' ft 500 (had major electrical problems) I bought for my first bike. The Ft500 felt a little big. So I'm a little concerned that anything larger than 500 cc might be too big for me? I'm mainly looking for a bike to ride to work and back (15 minute ride) and to the store etc. I've been looking into scooters, but there so dang spendy. I need to be able to go at least 50mph on my way to work.

As far as price goes $900 and under is what I'd like to pay

Thanks so much!
