[QUOTE="SpeedyManiac, post: 1179624, member: 19453"] I was 14 when I bought my first bike - 1985 XR100R. I saved up my paper route money and my parents helped me out a bit. The bike cost $600, I paid $500, parents paid the rest. When I was younger my parents made a deal where I had to pay half for any 'big ticket items' like snowboards, mountain bikes, etc. As my toys got more expensive they canceled the deal. I guess once I was able to come up with over $1000 they decided it was too pricey to match. At 16 I bought a 1999 XR200R and paid all of the $2300 for it, minus $700 from selling the XR100R. I paid all of the $3800 for my 2001 GasGas EC200 when I was 19. Now that I'm pretty much finished university and joining the work force it will be brand new bikes from here on out. My suggestion for you is to show some initiative and get a part time job, whether it be a paper route, whatever. I worked as a theatre usher part time through high school. If you're lucky, you might be able to convince your parents to help you out by splitting the cost 50/50. Good luck and work hard. Most of us weren't just given our toys, we had to earn them. [/QUOTE]
