If so, is it just me or is buying during the winter to get a better deal a myth?

You do get a better deal in the winter. I intend to buy between Feb and April.

Maybe, but I've been following Craig's list and others for about a week and I'm pretty unimpressed for what I see for prices. But then again it could be the market area I am in.

winter buying depends on your location.

I guess, I'm in the NYC market area. There is an awful lot of trading going on in the area but man, I see way too many older motorcycles that I not going to bother with. Especially at the prices they are asking.

So I'm looking at this site and it appears to be geared to people who know exactly what they want and then price shop on that. Is that correct?

never never pay for "options" so dont click on them, year and model bear bones Low Retail prices and cut that by 20% ...then the old storie my bank will only loan this much....just a good starting point..then 100 offers to get the feel of things....if new texas or down south seems to be 2k less

Nice bikes Blue, but I dislike loud pipes in the city as they are very inconsiderate when you're going through neighborhoods where you can literally disturb thousands of people with the sound of them. I know there are guys that get off on that but it's just not cool in my book. In more rural areas I would not have that much of a problem with sporting a nice set of pipes on a bike.
I really wanted to start out on like a 650 CC bike but I may end up getting a straight up el cheapo commuter bike since that is what I want for anyway, and it is going to be parked on city streets and deal with everything associated with being operated in the city, so cheap is likely best. I did want to be able to do occasional 100 mile trips on the bike, but a 250CC bike kinda sucks for that, definitely doable, but not the most comfortable.
I've still been looking at Craigslist and others, and I find it remarkable how many people seemingly highball their prices.

What is the deal with the loud motocycles? I hate them.
It seems like the people on them think theyre badass too but they look like idiots.

They are massively too loud. I think they break sound ordances of many neighborhoods. Worst are the Harleys
