USED BIKES<br />
Used bikes are a great option for entering the motorcycle<br />
market. This month, Donovan found a real little gem…<br />
Fire It Up Ride: 2014 Honda CBR500R – R59,888<br />

Next month, we are doing a feature showing just how<br />
damn cheap it is to purchase and own a decent motorcycle<br />
compared to the equivalent crap-box eco-car, and that<br />
is purely on a monetary basis excluding such priceless<br />
commodities as happiness.<br />
We have another motorcycle in mind for that, but this one<br />
would a be grand candidate too. It’s a Honda CBR500R, sold<br />
by Fire It Up’s own Berto Santos to a customer in 2014 when<br />
he was trading under a Honda dealership flag. That customer<br />
did 24,807 happy kilometres over the next six years, and now<br />
it has returned to Berto and his hallowed Fire It Up floor.
