.. and another one from across the sea....
Hello!
Just found this forum and been reading the DIY's which are proving very informative . I've had my black Ninja 250 since July last year and have "farkled" (I like that word!) with many bits already including R&G crash protectors, exhaust hanger, bar ends and tail tidy (fender eliminator!), Skidmarkz black double bubble screen and hugger and of course the kawa seat cowl! Been riding about 4 years now but had a bit of time out after I dropped my old GPX 250 on my leg breaking it in 2 places resulting in 3 months in plaster and 6 months getting it back to strength! Based in Bristol in SW England - lots of good roads nearby and good friends to ride with |

Curse you and your sexy bike! I wants! But on the other hand, you live in Bristol. It's an even trade off I guess. Good to have another Brit here!

Can I just ask how much you payed for that Ninja? I've been told many different prices for the Ninjettes in the UK and I want an answer from someone who actually owns one of them.
Ta =)

I paid £3673 OTR inc Seat Cowl (£70!!!) and Cat 1 alarm (£299). Think they've gone up this year though. Give your local Kawa Centre a call as they will all have them in a the same price (assuming they have any left! I know there is one unbought one in Bristol Kawa Centre). Have since spent a fair bit on frame sliders, hugger etc etc .. lol.. but it's worth it.. just ned to find an exhaust that suits me in looks, sound perfomance and price and I'll be sorted! Any suggestions on the exhausts available in the UK?

I found it really fiddly to fit too... plus you'd think for the money they could have supplied some nice cable connectors! lol
