That is entirely true. You can buy an awesome, 170mph, super-car eating motorcycle for 3k, that will run and run with basic maintenance once in a while. If you are that way inclined.
The big new GS's are fabulous apparently but I wouldn't buy anything like that as a learner. Drop it, which you will and it could get written off. Ouch.
Get the license and then do a load of test rides.
