looking in to getting am motorcycle?

i am 19 wanting to get a cruiser bike not a crotch rocket. i wanna know what i should be looking for when buying a motorcycle and maybe share some insight. i tried to get a quote for the insurance but i don’t own a bike yet so i cant punch in the type of bike etc. so if anyone around my age group could tell me how much their insurance normally is. i’m starting from ground zero so any help will be great!

Good choice man, cruisers are way cooler to look at than crotch-rockets, and girls are more likely to climb on the back of ‘em. So here’s my advice- get something small and used to learn on. Cruisers are heavy and when they start going over, there’s precious little you can do to stop ‘em. There are a couple of classic learner bikes that have a cruiser kind of aesthetic to them- Honda Rebel 250s and Suzuki GZ250 and GS500L are great to start on. Also, most people turn their nose up at Korean bikes, but I really loved riding my Hyosung GV250, and it was small and light, but looked like a decent sized bike. Buy one of those, or something like it (stay under 600cc’s) and get really comfortable with the way a bike handles, and then get a Yamaha VStar 1100. I’m assuming you’re not looking for a Harley- the VStars are great bikes and they look good and sound good and are all-round good cruisers. Another fine choice is a Honda Shadow VT1100 (they’ve discontinued the model though, but they’re around used on craigslist, which is where you are best off looking for a used bike at a reasonable price)
Good luck man, and have fun!!

Motorcycle insurance for an 18 year old?

I’m 18 and I want to buy a 1984 900cc kawasaki ninja motorcycle. I have an 84 camaro and I’m on my dad’s insurance which means it’s only around $80 a month. He is 50 and has alot of experience with motorcycles. I know that insurance is sky-high when your under 25 so my question is, if I’m on my dads insurance will it be cheaper like it is on my car or will it be just as expensive?

idk if this will help but im 18 with a clean record and a gixxer 750 and i pay $23 a month with progressive

What type of motorcycle should i buy?

I want something quick, nice, yet inexpensive, somewhere around 3500 – 6500. I want a street bike. It is my very first bike and I want something that i wont get tired of easily. I am very athletic. Height – 5′ 8″ and weigh 170. Also, I am 19 years old, what should i expect to pay in insurance. I was considering a GSXR 1000…any suggestions?

DAVE,DAVE,DAVE,You say this is your first bike? Can you ride a motorcycle, especially one with a lot of torque and HP? My advice is to take a Motorcycle safety course ,state approved. A lot of places like vocational schools or private courses are offered and this is a good way to learn what to do and not do.I took an advance course in Oct. and after riden’ for 37 yrs I thought I could ride a bike I learned many good techniques and escapes in a tight jam. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RIDERS COURSE BEFORE BUYING ANYTHING!!!!!!. This course completion will also help to reduce insurance costs too

Transfer auto title from my brother in NC to LA?

I have a brother who left his car with me after being stationed in the Germany for 3 years. He no longer wants his car and wants to donate it to me. How would we transfer ownership and title being that he is now in Germany? The car was originally registered in North Carolina and is now in Louisiana. Insurance and inpection have since expired.

Assuming your brother is the title holder, and the vehicle is free and clear of any liens because of financing, he would sign the title as the seller, have it notarized, and ideally also make out a bill of sale that he is transferring his interest in the vehicle to you at no charge. Many states don’t charge for transfers between family members.

You would take those documents to the DMV, where you would get a title issued in your name, and information as to how to get tags on it and get it back on the road. Do not drive it until you have insurance in place of course.
