This is a dumbass question but I'll ask anyways, I'm starting college soon and am thinking of buying a motorcycle, something around 600 cc, issue is, this money could instead be invested in stocks, wwyd?
>>
sorry friend. You will end up wrecking. Its a fact. You will get into an accident. ALSO since you haven't started college yet I assume you are 17-25 although you could be older...but if you are in that age group don't. You are not developed enough to securely and confidently ride a bike without sperging out.

Buy a cheap used bike for like $1000, ride it for a few months, and then if you wanna sell ti and get somerthing else, just do it.

>>
>>17579962
I started on a 600 supersport and never wrecked it, eventually moved to smaller bikes because they're more fun on everything but the highway. I'd definitely go for a bike, OP, riding a motorcycle is easily the best thing I've ever done in my life.
>>
>>17579962
Why would you tie your money up just to earn more money on it?
Buy the bike, at least you can enjoy your money, and they don't even devalue that much.
>>
>buying anything over 500cc as a first bike

Enjoying maiming yourself
>>
>>17579962
I wouldn't suggest a 600cc moto but if you won't change your mind I recommend a bmw 650gs.

Dad gave me one and i've been loving it ever since.

>>17579962
As someone who spent his late teens and early 20s laying waste to thousands of dollars on motorcycles...invest the money now. This way in a few years you can buy even more motorcycles and all the expensive shit that goes with them like tires, suspension work, sick riding gear, taking time off work for vacations on the bike and track days.

Since it's just 4k I would say get the bike. If you were asking this same question about a 50k car, I would say invest.

Enjoy your life with a few grand, but keep saving with long term goals as well.

Good point. Small bikes get bought and sold at the same price for years on end. Anything bigger than 500 will lose value by the time you're out. It's an anomaly related to the hobbyist nature of riders in the US.
A CB/CBR will minimize repair costs. The 2016 CBR500R is the latest iteration, and leftovers are the same 5500 as the previous.

2009, pretty sure that style started in 2007. It's functional at least
>>
It's your money, OP. I'd say both are somewhat bad decisions. At least the bike is tangible and is harder to steal from you than whatever's in your brokerage account. And they've outright stolen shit from investors before, see: MF Global. Nobody really got punished for that, not really. They sure as hell never got their money back.

At least if your bike gets stolen, the cops will care enough to put the asshole in jail if they bother catching him.
>>
I got my 2005 CBR600RR while in college 5 years ago.

I still ride it to work daily unless it rains, then I take my car.

Get the bike. best investment you can make just make sure you can control yourself and don't split lanes with a speed differential of over 5 mph.
>>
>>17579977
Stop projecting your imcompetence although I do agree a lot of people can't handle the power. You can start on a 1000cc if your not a stupid nigger.

I'd recommend a Honda, the older ones are fairly cheap these days but hold their value if you take care of them, you can easily get your 2k back once you resell if you've taken care of it, they're easy to maintain, a lot of resources, a lot of spare parts out there, reliable and easy to ride.
