Ugh I am going Crazy

So I was planning on buying my ninjette towards the Start of Aug. Well the Dealership here sold the 2011 white ninja 250 they had. so I couldnt get one. well now winter is starting to sneak up on us and I cant decide if I should get one for the last month or 2 of summer/fall I could have enough money to straight up buy one next spring. but I am going crazy not being able to ride...every time I go out and see people riding I get envious. what to do what to do...I have to vent about this somehow lol

Honestly I would wait till spring. First it's much more enriching to know you OWN your bike instead of making payments on it. Second, you could very well find another white one between now and then. And lastly, you would have to get it ready for winter soon and would only get a small amount of pleasure before going through the hassle of winterizing it and hoping you did it right. (not everyone does and then they pay for it in the spring)

I'm in the same boat. It's going to be September by the time I get my license. And then once I find a bike to buy, it may very well be October.

Positive is that you can get better prices in winter than in spring. Their demand drops and dealers lower prices to accommodate, or else they would not sell period over winter. That;s what I've been doing. Slowly been seeing the prices drop (esp. on craigslist where they dropped $1500 on average since the beginning of summer).

You can get a new bike cheaper. The demand of bikes fall in winter and dealers have a harder time selling them. Thus they lower the prices to get more people interested.

I've been told, though, that since the Ninja is such a demanding bike the prices won't drop too significantly in the winter, because they're going to be sold easily when riding season comes again.

I still think it's a good idea to buy in the winter, I might do it myself. It depends on how much cheaper they really are. Plus consider how you're going to get it home lol

you don't need sunshine to enjoy a bike. riding in the rain is fun unless your bike dies from mysterious electrical issues. but ninjettes don't have problems like that...


also side note, almost every dealer will deliver the bike to you for "free". edit: quoted "free" because you already are paying for it with the 'shipping and handling' charges... but you usually can't get out of those charges if you drive it off the lot, hence the "free"
