Hi everyone!I'm new to motorcycles..been around people that have them..and now its finally my turn...
Stuff about me... my name is Laura
age:22 (jan 28th)
status: i'm a full time college seniorand paying for my own way thru
pets: a black toy poodle (very hyper)
activities i like: jet skiing, camping, ice skating, fencing,
favorite movie(s): anything funny or romantic.. i guess the notebook is my fave (i'm a girl what did u expect?)
music: almost everything
fave food: pasta , chocolate

I enrolled in the basic rider course in my city,now i'm browsing for bikes..
I like the ninja 250, i went in to a dealer to "test" it (basically just sit on it haha). I was kinda worried that I won't be able to ride b/c the motorcycle seems to big 4 me. I'm 5"5 and 115lb, i know how to ride a bike..but i'm just afraid i won't be able to balance when it comes to a motorcycle : /Does anyone know where i can figure out what a good price for motorcycles are vs. miles? some i'm considering : '92 kawasaki ninja, 40,000miles asking $900.
'97 kawasaki ninja 250, 18,000miles, asking $1800
'04 Kawasaki ninja 500 1,800miles ,asking $2800
Finally '06 kawasaki ninja250 6,400miles asking $2800

wow that 04 and 06 look like smokin deals laura!!


don't worry much about the 500 giving you problems tony, it's all about how responsible you ride. this is my first bike and i'm starting on a 750! between the 250 and 500 it kinda depends on what you wanna do, those are 2 different animals but both awsome in their own right. the 500 will obviosly have more power but not enough to throw you around like a bigger bike will. not saying it can't bite you in the **** easily, but if you stay cautious and responsible it'll be a sweet little treat. idk much about the 250 but you can ask plenty of the other guys on here and they'll give you the skinny.



RIDE SAFE YOU TWO!!!! and welcome to Thunderdome beeeitches.....i mean KF....and the madness lol

Hey Laura, you might want to repeat this post in a new thread in the New Member area so as not to be missed. Oh and I need to talk to you about a cool idea I just got. PM me.
