I bought the bike about 9 months ago. I never really got a chance to ride it cause I initially got it immediately as winter began. The motorcycle is beautiful. minimal scrapes/scratches. In my opinion. the ninja 250cc is the ideal starter bike. and a commuters dream. 70+ Mpg. easy to learn with or even to use as a refresher. I'm selling it because I'm transferring from the University of Montana back to the East Coast. I sincerely wish I could easily bring it with me but I do need the cash. Text. or email me cash offers or decent item trades. Will not trade for other motorcycles. guns.
