Default Thinking about buying a bike, but where?

I am probably going to buy a bike this fall/winter and am just curious where to look for the best deals on used bikes in VA. Not much in the classifieds here, but any other forums good to find nice used bikes? I still may buy new local, but if I could find a nice low mile bike I may.

Looking for a sport bike, leaning toward gixxer or ninja...

Thanks

kinda of depends on what bike you end up going with... They have bike specific forums. That is where most of the help is gonna come from.

What size are you looking for? I am selling my 05 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R / 636... Just over 10k miles, runs great! new Shinko Advance tires, intake, WRP exhuast, jumper mod, Power Commander, smoked double bubble wind screen, intergrated rear tail, and flush mount front signals.

I am letting just the bike go for $4500

I will throw in a helmet, mesh jacket, Kawasaki bike cover, extra fairings, box of extra parts, and ZX-6R service manual for $4800

Yeah, just can't decide whether I should buy a 600 or 750. I'm afraid I'll buy a 600 and wish I had gotten a 750 a few months later.

Thanks for the info. Pics of your bike? One thing that I'm also not sure about is mileage, isn't that a lot of miles, 10k, for a bike? I was thinking I should be looking for 3-5k or less, but I really don't know a whole lot about this stuff, that's why I'm here.

My bike has 20k... just depends on if it was 10k of getting beat to shit or 10k of being treated well.
