I need some advice for a new bike. Please help me.?

Question

i want a light-weight bike that goes really fast. i admit it, I'm a speed-demon and my friends and I are constantly in races. As i was saying i need a light bike, with rapid-fire shifters if possible. i also wanted the bike to be under $200 dollars. All brands are acceptable. Dont care if it is BMX, Mountain Bike, Road bike, etc. If you know a bike with at least 3 of these qualities, let me know.

Answer 1

well a light weight bike is gonna b around $750+

Answer 2

get the huffy raven, its got full suspension really good brakes 21 gear combinations.

Its got a 26 in wheel and at toysrus its only $129. i just got it like a month ago, its awesome.

if u want to go fast it depends on how strong ur legs are and how fast they move. Here is the link btw ignore the dumb reveiw made by dat idiot at the site.

Answer 3

all i see is craigslist or a bmx bike on sale i see gts on sale all the time

Answer 4

A roadbike is the best for weight and speed. But I don't know how good they come under 200 dollars.

Answer 5

well... as far as mountain bikes or road bikes come, getting one under 200 is out of the question. but.. you can get a really nice bmx bike.  the first one is an Intense Pro 20 bike. ($209.95).  most of your bmx bikes weigh somewhere around 30-33 lbs. NOT THIS ONE! try 27 lbs. it is a light bike specifically design for racing. so, your freinds are going to get pissed! the only downside to this bike is if you plan on park riding (half pipes, rails, stairs) dont get it. its made for racing. the other one is a DK Rage. (199.95). probably the coolest bike i've ever seen. its not a high tech race bke, so it wont ride as smooth. but you wont have to limit your riding with this one cuz its made for practically anything, and weighs exactly the same as the intense. go to jrbicycles.com, click "complete bikes", and they will have all of the brands there (including DK and Intense) choose wisely:)

Answer 6

Under $200...Forget It.

Answer 7

i just recently got a rk rage , origionally desinged for racing but manufactured as freestyle. this bike is fast, on the light side, and has great stabability.
