Hello, from Asheville.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater Hello Everyone! I have just purchased a 2007 Ninja with only 1,400 miles on it for the unbelievable price of 500 dollars! This is my second one. The first was a 2000 model and I loved it. Bought that one new. Anyway I am well aware that there is no such thing as a "free" bike. That being said I have strong suspicions that this is a theft recovery. It is on it's second engine, there are two keys, ignition key is different. Has an oil leak, needs a turn signal replaced, the brake pedal appears to be pointing at the sky, the brake light is always on. right rear body panel is held on with zip ties, seat latch return springs are gone, and tail light cover is also missing. THAT is what I noticed so far. Still it has good bones and runs, so this will be a fun project bike. Last futzed with by jhey42.1; June 23rd, 2015 at 08:11 PM. Reason: add image |

Welcome, John! Sounds like you've acquired an excellent set of opportunities for personal growth.
Throw a rock in the French Broad for me. I should be back there by the end of summer. Ride on, J~

Welcome, and I'm one for projects, my Ninjette was poorly maintained to say the least, but after some long hours, it's now better than, so good luck, and there's always hope,
