hey guys, i'm completely new to the sport here. i don't know anything about bikes or biking. my friend used to have a bike that i had a lot of fun on on his farm, don't remember what kind or anything though. anyway, i thought i'd get myself a bike, just for fun. but again, like i said, i don't know anything about what companies make good bikes, or what kind of bike would be good for me. i'm lookin for something cheap but that's not fallin apart and that wouldn't require much maintenance as i don't know much about it yet. any suggestions would help. thanks.

I picked up a copy of CycleTrader on my way to work, and I guess maybe a Honda CR250 might be my best bet, I know Honda makes a reliable engine. But how fast is one of those?
