For those who know about motorcycles?
You shouldn't go for something 15 years old, and though $3k isn't much (man, those Rebels are so easy to get!) you should be able to EASILY find a used one that's only a few years old for the $1500 you were thinking about.How different is it riding with a passenger?
Try craigslist, and when you look at it ask the owner to start it when COLD. A warmed-up engine can hide a lot of problems.
If I want to use my bike specifically for track use do I still need to register and get it insured?
Also look for any cracks around the head tube/steering. They would show up as wrinkled or cracked paint, and that's a no-go. The chain is a good indicator of a well-maintained bike, and if it is dry (especially if there is any rust on it) keep looking. If the owner can't do the simplest maintenance, then the rest of the bike has been neglected.

Good luck with your hunt, wear all the gear, take an MSF course, and enjoy yourself!

ok, first off, you have the honda rebel part right, they are best starter bike there is, and, i, personaly, would go with the 15 year old bike, they are so much easyer to fix and cheaper on parts, the newer you get, the more ordering is involved for parts and they are usually more expensive, i would go with the 15 year old rebel, its your best bet as a new rider and will enjoy it! good luck man!Where can I find Lady driver in New Delhi?
If you are brand new to motorcycle riding make sure you understand counter-steering. When the bike is moving above around 25 mph you have to turn the bars in the opposite direction that you want to turn. Too many people hop on a bike for the first time and try to steer in the direction they want to go, only to run right off the road. -- Be safe.do motorcycles have a reverse gear?
OK here we go !...1st...If you are that thrilled with a bike..get a big one 1000cc or better. 2nd...write a will. I joke you NOT..I rode bikes since 18 yrs old and had it all. Then at 42 thought all was good until I tangled with a PU truck. 1.5 yrs later THANK GOD !! I am still alive. HEY...Buy a sports car....trust me...Lookin for Kehin carb. butterfly screws.?
If it's in real good shape, go with the older one. There will not be a big difference in parts cost between the two. Any place that can do an official safety inspection would probably look at it for you, if you don't already have a mechanic. They will probably charge the hourly rate.the rebel would be an excellent starter bike and probably the easiest 1 on gas compared to the big v-twins. it would probably feel like u were straining it on freeways or interstates, and might be a bit underpowered for riding 2-up. indi shops would probably charge alot less for their time to go over the bike than a dealer would. i started with a 750cc yamaha.
i suggest u go thru the msf course also. a 15 yr old bike might need a little bit of work if the seller was spotty on the maintainence...so check the maint. records. always consider ur self completely invisible and never trust any cager to do the right thing.

You're on the right track. Don't listen to the boy that lost his balls in the pickup wreck.If the older Rebel is in good shape, get it. Its a great bike to learn on , but you will, eventually, want more motorcycle than that. With the older bike, you won't lose much.
