Finally Sold The Ninjette
I finally did it. The ninjette is gone. I had it for 5 years and it had 19666 mi when its new owner picked it up. I looked at the Fz07 and Fz 09 but ended up with the Ninja 1000. I found a brand new 2012 left over. Now all thats left to do is wait for the weather to turn.

Congrats on the new bike; time to update that profile! I'd imagine they were able to offer a screaming deal on a bike sitting around for 6 years. Warranty still starts from date of purchase, right?

The weight difference is taking some getting used to. I'm not an ego guy so I could care less about corner speed. If the 650's looked better I would have considered them. But on this forum Jiggles is my hero so I had to get the 1000 right?

Unfortunately there is no warranty as the dealership was closing. I am quite confident in my research that these bikes don't have many problems at all. I do all my own work on my bike anyway. As for the deal, I feel like the Cali guys are getting better deals on left over 16's but these was also a small dealer. I did get the bike under kbb value and it really is brand new. In the end I don't have many choices near me. If i didn't get this bike the next one was about a 2 hour drive. And what really surprised me is that I couldn't find any used ones for sale in my area. Either way so far I'm pleased with it.

That Ninja 1000 is a do-it-all bike, I've looked at many of them (brand new, old models) sitting in the showroom floor with amazingly low price tags, I think eventually I may end up with one of them. Congrats.

Congrats! I've got my eye on a N1k too. How big was your insurance bump?

I was playing around with the numbers, and I couldn't get it below $3k a year for a new model, and $2K for an older one! California.

Congrats! That is a perfect do it all bike. You should take it for a 500 mile trip when the weather permits.

Or Geico?
Once I was over 25 and married, my insurance dropped to 20% of previous costs. |

I feel I have a pretty good rate after browsing the insurance thread on the ninja1000 forum. I'm sure I could change some things to lower it too. I have low deductables and full coverage.
