That's not bad, a bit far but priced nice. Being a 25+ year old bike I could probably get it tagged as an antique & save the GD personal property tax! The good thing about the Rebel is parts are pleantiful.
My preference for performance & fuel economy is actually the Yamaha V Star 250.
Those bike are killer.

One thing we found out at DMV yesterday. Because he is 17 he needs to hold a MC permit for 9 months before they will add a M endorsement  to his drivers license. (adults get immediate licensing) SO even though he passes the written & road test he has to wait until April to be fully licenced rider. So he said he wants to do what I did wait until just before Christmas time when people are selling off their bikes cheap. He saw me buy both my bikes dirt cheap. Makes sense since he can't get his own insurance until he is 18 anyway.

Guess I didn't raise a stupid kid after all!

So get this...

I find this bike for sale, a nice cherry 1972 honda 350 for $1200 or best offer.  
all original, with new tires & only 9,000 miles.

Although my kid loves the look of this classic, he would prefer one with forward contol which sits lower in the seat.

KIDS...

The first bike I bought was a suzuki GS550L, It was a six speed and had enough power to keep up with traffic but not so much to get in trouble. It was light weight and easy to handle I never dumped it and i only payed 675 for it running with new tires and in great shape. Look around on line, i got mine off craigslist.
It was a great starter bike. I rode it 100 miles a day just for work. The only issue i had was it got great gas mileage but had a small tank. Had to get gas everyday.

I think he needs a 'trip to the wood shed' for that one!
