The Legend Begins.... Ninja ordered

[Legend]

Well I finally got around to ordering my Ninja! The Candy Lime Greens are hard to find here in Ontario, one dealership was trying to charge me an extra $300-$400 to get one in for me (didn't get the bike there).

Ended up going to a local place which is right up the road from where I live which will be great for future service. I did get quotes a little cheaper elsewhere but it wasn't a big enough savings to was my time driving back and forth few times to save 1 or 2 hundred bucks.

I should have my Ninja next Thursday Can't wait. Just need to get the rest of my road gear now. LOL. Grrr more money.

Congrats! ... did you by any chance look into the "used" market before going "brand new"? Don't know about the availability of used 2fiddies in canada, but you'd have found a better deal if you had gone used and probably saved more for gear...but that's me crying over spilled milk
Get as much gear as you can, take a basic rider's course and have fun!

Thanks EK,

Have most of my gear purchased, just need to grab my leather jacket and some type of riding pants.

We have a graduated licensing system here in Ontario. I have done my written test which give me my M1(First level), I did my safety course which included a ride test which gives me my M2 (second level). This M2 means I can ride with no restrictions except I must have ZERO blood alcohol. Ill go back for another course in an 18 months and do a test to get my full license.

As for used, I could have saved myself $1500 or more if I wanted get a used bike. I decided to get a new bike I didn't want to worry about inheriting other people's problems. I have a 2 yr full warranty on this one and to me spending a bit more for something that isn't used is worth it.

I buy all the stuff I need, I'm just cheap and hate spending money....... boy did I choose the wrong thing to get into.

congrats on the soon to be bike..and as for gear, you did better than i did anyways. i had a jacket and gloves but thats it. i got my bike and had to wait nearly a week for my helmet to come in (oh the agony!). I got boots two weeks later, and 3 months later I'm still riding in jeans.
