Default Bike Loan Question ?

Hey guys im new to the whole bike scene so im tryin to learn but i have questions as to where to start with a loan? i have no credit so does that mean i will have to have my parent co sign ? And are there special loans for the bike itself ? and last question im lookin for a bike 5000 and under is it possible to pull off 100 dollar monthly payments? srry to sound stupid im just wondering about these things and i havent gotten a straight answer yet
thanks in advance

if you arent old enough to have a credit history to get your own loan, you aren't mature enough to handle a motorcycle responsibly.

I've never even ridden a bike but can tell you to buy a brand new bike regardless of whether or not it's a 250 to start out is stupid. Buy an old beat up 250 to learn on..then spend your money on a good bike once you know how to ride.

If you want a new bike, get a new bike, your the one riding it, dont listen to the guys on here. As for the loan you can have your parents get a motorcycle loan, or just get a cash loan. If nothing else, it will help you establish credit. Just be responsible, and dont get in over your head with money or bike size. Just look at the R.I.P's for this year alone on the site.

See if your parents will allow you to take a loan out through them. When I bought my car, my mom did some credit card check (promotional thing) made out to me, and after I paid for the car in cash (mom's money), I paid her back over time. If you did decide to get an older 250, there are a couple Ninjas being sold on here for under $2,000.

Edit: There WERE older 250s on here for under $2,000. Just sold.
