My first Ninja 250 was an 05 model with 2k miles, purchased in 2010 for $450 since it had salvage title, body plastic damage and forks were misaligned in the triples.
I fixed it up, ran it for little over 4k miles and sold it for $800 in 9 months.

My current Ninja was purchased back in 2014 for $800, 8k mi. clean title and needed tires. Now it has over 18k mi. and I keep it as my designated commuter within NYC 5-boroughs and between NYC & Phila. on the highways. I think I will put another set of tires on it this year.. maybe change out the OEM chain/sprockets.. valves were done last year at 16k mi. so maybe skip it this year.

The operating cost for Ninja 250 is so low, it's a keeper if you have the space.
I use it as a "ride it and forget it" kind of bike.
