What do you guys think?

taylorblake · May 19th, 2012, 05:55 PM

So I'm looking to buy a bike in a few months. I'm five two and the ninja seems to be the best fit

I'd like to spend between 1500 and 2500. What do you guys think about this?

also tips on buying used? What should i avoid and so on. My dad rides, but he isn't very supportive:/

Thanks

I don't know, I just paid $2000 for an '08 with 3400 miles, never been down. The deals are out there if you take time to look and be patient. I am in Alabama as well.

I thought it was a good deal too. Maybe I'll look into it

It'll still be a little while until I get the cash. Doesn't stop me from scouting though

I live in Robertsdale. I bought the bike in Mississippi, about 170 miles away!

when i bought my 2000 the guy wanted 1600 for it but i ended up paying 1300 for it. It only had 5400 miles on it and new tires, i got it serviced at the recommended 6k and the guy at the shop said only 2 valves were out of spec. For sure try to haggle the price down.
