On my way home from my sisters college I was thinking whether to buy a new ninja or buy a used and just as i was thinking I saw a used red/purple 250 on the side of the road. It looked fine with only one very small scratch on the right fairing. The only thing i didnt like was the mileage and the purple. Plus its pretty close from where I live. When I called them up i asked a bunch of question adn one of them was if they were leniant on the price and they said a little. Is it an ok deal?

 

My 04 has around 7000 miles on it now....yeah I been puttin some miles on it.....so I can sell it....BLAH....anyway sounds like a good deal....

kelley blue book says 1900 and it should have around 9100 miles on it.......so sounds about right to me!

 

Do you think 10,000 miles is alot for this bike?

 

Nope I don't think 10k miles is a lot for that bike....they only put a little more than 1100 miles on it every year....and I put over 1800 on mine in the first two months that I had it. Make sure it was an adult rider and that they changed the oil etc. Have someone who knows motorcycles well go with you to check it out. I think its a good deal...sounds like they are willing to let it go for less than 1500....blue book says 1900.00. And if you don't like the purple and don't want to spend a lot of money on new plastics....sand em a little and buy that new paint that Krylon came out with that is made for plastics....its supposed to be good stuff...made specifically to bond/adhere to plastic. http://www.misterart.com/g8420/Krylo...;WT.mc_id=8420

Its called Krylon Fusion.

 

Thanks for the tip. Ill problly like a used bike better because i wont be scared if I drop it or anything. Hopefully this deal will go through

 

that is exactly why I bought mine used....because I didn't want to screw up a brand new bike in case I dropped it I'm crossing my fingers for you! keep us updated

 

i have 50,000




















so, no

 

22k on my 87

 

20k on my 94

 

I think $1500 isn't bad for that year. But do have someone experienced with bikes check it out to make sure it wasn't neglected.
