Buying a motorcycle for college
I'm going to college this fall as a freshman and typically first years aren't supposed to bring their cars because all the parking spots are reserved for upperclassmen. so normally the younger class eithr bikes or walks to classes (and they stay in dorms.. while upperclassmen typically commute- aka drive from home or apartment).
so this fall my parent aren't letting me bring my car. I only live 25 minutes away from my college and I think its silly that i can't have a car my first year. My parents are moving and thinking about selling my car. I was thinking about buying a motorcycle? Nothing spendy like a harly-davidson.. haha. But i did find one that I really like. Honda motorcycle for only 3,999 dollars. Thats pretty cheap for a motorcycle. Here's the link

so do you think its a good idea? would i need a parking permit if i brought this to college? can't i just park it by the bike racks? what are you thoughts on this? thank you!

Maybe give some free advice about: Cars?
Razhie is probably correct. If the school will not allow you a car, the will probably not issue you a permit to have a bike on campus either.
When you are allowed to have a vehicle on campus, if you are still interested in a bike I would suggest you look at something other than a crotch rocket. They are nice bikes but they are not comfortable if they are going to be your only form of transportation. You would be better off with a touring bike, even if you have to settle for a used bike the first time to save money.

The college is not going to let you park it at the bike racks! I don't even need to ask which college, that is never going to happen.
Honestly, and you are gonna hate me but, suck it up and live without a car for a year.
It's your first year of college and you'll be in a dorm. Not only do you not really need a car, a car will actually be a bit of hassle and a liability.
Embrace life on campus. Manage without a car. If you are still really itchy for one a few months in, then sit down with your parents and hash it out, knowing what the campus rules are and the possibilities and limits.
It is probably not the problem you think it is.
