<prompt> Human: Hey, this is a request for aid-I have spent roughly a year and a half doing motorcycle research, class studying, and saving up to successfully afford my childhood dream of owning and driving a motorcycle. I have a budget of 2500, found a pre-owned 2011 Honda CBR for 2300, now I just need to talk with the dealership rep. I read some tips go at end of month, know what it should go for price wise , bring someone to watch out for me, and just would like some professionaleducated advice from the kind folks of Reddit. I understand most post about mistakes or achievements in finance here, but Im desperate for help and I dont have very financially educated friends.  <response>: My motorcycle advice? The 250 is a great start! They hold their value fairly well in my selling experience so when you are ready to move into something larger you wont be out too much. Financial advice? Make sure you dont negotiate payments only negotiate final price. And also It looks like you have the funds in hand. Ask for a cash price. They may give you some money off. Its worked for me.Best bit of advice? Please wear safety protection. I was glad I did the day I hit a grouse right in the noggin
