<p>Can anyone suggest a nice bike for commute/riding around town?</p>
<p>what price range are we looking at?</p>
<p>Get the Yamaha Ninja 250R. It only costs abt $3000 and gives a good mileage.
If you need something more powerful u can get the Ninja 650r or a higher model.
If u have enough experience and money get a Suzuki Hayabusa (11,000)</p>
<p>if you got alot of cash, get a BMW</p>
<p>get a car.
by the way, ninjas are made by kawasaki, not yamaha.</p>
<p>and im sure there not 3k there 300 maybe but not 3k who would spend that much money on a bike my latest one was from 5 yrs ago(elementery school present i was already 5-3 i think by then probably taller so it was going to be good for a long time after that i was very tall for my age going into 6th grade) and it was 100 something and it was a womens bike not a kids bike</p>
<p>Yeah I'm talking about bicycle bikes no motorcycle bikes.</p>
<p>Price range is probably <= 300 USD.</p>
<p>Ooh thanks for posting this, il bandito. I just starting looking for a bike, too.</p>
<p>sorry for the error</p>
<p>i'd go for cannondale. they make one of the longest-lasting bikes. a bit pricey, but worth it.</p>
<p>Be sure to wear a helmet.</p>
<p>I've had good luck with Specialized and Trek bikes. I've only seen them for min. $500 though. You could try getting used or you could look for last year's model for like a $100 discount.</p>
<p>gary fishers are good</p>
