New Camera - Need new lenses

[patto3]

Hi guys,
Been a while since I've posted here, kinda busy with stuff.
Anyway, For Christmas I got a 2nd hand 300D (which was a backup camera so it is in good nic) with the intent to spend a bit more money on lenses.

Currently I have the standard canon 18-55mm lens and a canon 55-200mm given to me from a friend. I wanted to know what lenses you guys would recommend for moto photography, starting from the cheapest stuff working your way to the more pricier glass. I think I will get a 55mm F1.8 first...maybe?

What do you guys think? All input is appreciated.
Thanks

If your only planning to shoot moto I would not bother getting a 50 f1.8, they are a great buy but unless you need the 1.8 for low light stuff you already have two lenses that can cover that range for you.

If budget is the largest concern at the moment I would scrimp and save all I could to find a deal on a used Canon 70-200 f4 or a Sigma 70-200 f2.8.

Yep, the 70-200 is what you need. If you want something a bit wider, the Sigma 24-70 2.8 MACRO is great and a bit cheaper than the 70-200

Another vote for the Sigma 70-200 f2.8.

I don't only intend on doing moto photography, but primarily it will be.
I think I will get the 50mm 1.8 because it is the least expensive and I will be using it for BMX photography and some more general stuff aswell, then I can start saving for the sigma 70-200mm 2.8.

There is no doubt the "Nifty Fifty" is likely the best lens bargain you'll ever find for the cost/performance ratio.
