Came up on a few sweet deals for a first bike. I do own a project Ninja 250 (pregen), but dealing with the carbs and just getting it to run right is a bigger pain in the butt, so I may just part it out (lots of aftermarket parts).
I'm looking for something for the daily commute and fuel economy. The 300 looks like something interesting to get started on.
The one I'm looking at is a 2013 with fresh tires, 7000 miles for ~$3000. The previous owner is pregnant and is looking for extra cash, so I may help her out.
It was dropped once from a stand still.
Bike has no mods, and I doubt she did wheelies on it.
Just looking for opinions on what to look for.
Also, I have tech questions as to the suspension. Mainly, the stock spring rates front and rear. I'm about 155lbs before gear, so I'm hoping the suspension feels good for me. Could you confirm?
I definitely will be doing the fender eliminator as my first mod.
Thanks for looking!
