Bike recommendations for son
I am looking for some bike recommendations for my son. He just passed his motorcycle safety course and is obviously an inexperienced rider. He is heading off to college in the fall. I was thinking of a used bike, low displacement, road bike, electric start, and completely bullet proof. The bike would be outside at college (Memphis, TN). My budget range is $2500. Thanks! Chris

DR350 is an obvious first choice as it is light and doesn;t have expensive body panels etc that will need fixing etc when he drops it or when someone knocks it over. It is an on road / off road bike.
If you are only interested in a road bike, then something like a ninja 250 or ex500. Plentiful, cheap, and he can ride it a year or 2 then sell it on for probably what he bought it for.
Then step up slowly on larger displacement bikes.
