If you have 600-700 saved up, you could always finance and use that money for the above costs and ordering a couple of goodies lol. Just depends on what your preferences are. From what I can tell, most retailers seem to be on pre-order/back order for the next month anyway. Gives you some time to put the rest together.

The bike you linked doesn't look like one that could be registered for road use, if that was something that mattered to you at all. If it only has 50 miles, it definitely never saw pavement once in its life either...or a wash for that matter.

It's actually plated.. supposedly. I don't think I necessarily trust that but who knows could have plated it before whatever happened to that poor thing. I'm already making an Amazon wishlist of riding gear . I do want a road legal bike, I think it looks like he maybe disconnected the odometer if that thing only has "400" miles on it either that or he beat the crap out of it. I know the titling process will cost a bit sadly but I need to practice riding anyway any for my endorsement. Probably just keep saving and see if this current situation with these online dealers giving people the shaft changes enough to to where I feel comfortable.
