Might be just what you want - but at a lower price,.

I have doubts about the 200,000 miles. I did 120,000 miles once on a 900, Did the first 100,000 in three years and it felt like I was living on the bike.

Well it really depends on what you are looking for. If you are seeking fuel efficiency I would go with a 250 or 500. If you are seeking speed go for a supersport bike. If you want comfort then obviously go with a cruiser. If you are a first time rider I would not recommend you getting on a supersport bike until you have mastered your riding skills. A cruiser would be fun for you (and if you had a hunny at home) and your significant other but a cruiser is also much more difficult to maneuver b/c of it's weight.

Don't just limit yourself to kawasaki bikes either. Do some shopping. If you want something super fuel efficient Honda makes a bike called the Rebel. That bike will run days before you having to fuel it back up.

So, take some time to research a bike based off your needs/wants.

Yeah, the 200k miles on an 03 250 is doubtfull, and $900 for that many miles is not to my liking.

I found a 1990 Ex250 at 21k miles in good condition at $1000 - Good deal?

21k for a '90. Not bad at all. Knowing me, I would show up with $800 cash, but that is just me perhaps.

Man I didn't know that you could put that many miles on any bike. I would think that bike would need a rebuild before long.
Get a ZX-14 and just get the best right off the bat. Just take it easy for the first three years!.........LOL
I think I would try to find a 250 with less miles because you are not going to learn how to overhaul a bike all that soon.
