Where can you get a free or cheap motorcycle or moped?

Answer

I've gotten several decent motorcycles by just being in the right place at the right time... If that fails, ask. Talk about bikes at work, at school, anywhere you hang out, people will get to know that you're interested in bikes and, hopefully, keep their ear to the ground for a cheap or free bike. I saw a 1976 Harley Davidson SX250 on the back of a truck once and asked the owner if it was for sale... I brought it home for free. It took $120 worth of parts and three weeks worth of work but I had it "Safetied" and registered and ride it to work now. A fellow at work asked me if I wanted another bike and I came home with a mid '70's CZ 250, free. Check your local newspaper, I picked up a CZ 250 parts bike for $50. I also helped out a broken down biker, in the rain. When we got to his place with his broken bike I spotted a 1987 Honda Spree 50cc Scooter in his garage, he gave it to me for my troubles, just because I asked what he was going to do with it, my Father enjoyed this Scooter for a whole summer before selling it and moving on to a larger bike, now he's got the "bug"…

You could also look on Ebay or in your local newspaper, but remember cheap is not always a good option. Sometimes it is best to pay a little extra to insure reliablity...

Ebay is great but dont get a cheap Chinese rip off bike.

If you want it to travel to school there is a moped scheme going on, where they give it to you free to travel to school.
