That's interesting how you rode the 250 and liken it to a 400. Could a 250 be as fast as a 400? And by that I don't mean top speed but on acceleration. I need to test ride.



There is a guy who is willing to let one go for about 3500 bucks, only has 500 miles on it. He had a kid and he no longer wants to ride. I also have to be an adult here and can't just waste 3500 cash for a bike, not unless I sell the Ninja 250 or I use some of the repair money for the SFB650 that I wrecked back in October. My SFV650 has a bent fork and I can't find a cheap replacement.



To be honest I really am attached to it. I do like it and want to keep her. Hence why I bought 2 used Yoshimura's exhaust. Their a little beaten up but they should do the job and if I like them, maybe I'll spent the money for some brand new one.

I love how she rides, she is comfortable, sporty in a classics sense, and just wants to bee pushed. My issue to be honest is that I like having 2 bikes and I like to split the wear and tear on them. My SFV650 has about 26k miles on it but she is out of commission right now due to a bent fork. I was involved in an accident last year.

I would say the handling is similar. Both are very light weight and so easy to throw around in the corners. I made many upgrades on my 400 and I can power wheelie it in 1st! I am doing the same upgrades on the 250.

3500 for a 400 with 500 miles is pretty good. I would jump on it!
