You should be able to pick up a nice hard tail for about 500-800 (used) depending on what type you are looking for. IE a XC or DJ bike. A nice free ride or DH bike can cost considerably more like 2 times that used. It sounds you want to ride with your buddy so you will probably want a full suspension bike? I think it works best to describe the type of terrain you want to ride for suggestions. Since you are a beginner start off with a used bike since you will be crashing and will be upgrading later if you stay with it. Stay away from department store bikes.
