ASKING PRICE $5000

Springs front and rear are based on my weight and riding style.

Ported stock airbox
heat shield added to rear of engine for cooler air
heat shield added to underside of gas tank

Exhaust
Leo Vince carbon superbike exhaust with custom header flanges that perfectly match the head and pipe for superior flow (I don't need to use gaskets). Pics elsewhere

Frame and Controls

Heated Grips
WC Clip-ons
Stainless bolts where I could easily replace
Aluminum gas cap bolts, full aluminum race spec engine kit from ProBolt, AL sprocket nuts, TI brake bolts, TI oil drain bolt

Anyone want parts? If I can get buyers for the major items, I’ll part it.

Motor
Frame
Suspension

Otherwise $4250 is pretty darn low for this thing

It's unfortunate but next to no one wants to pay premium for a tricked out ex250. Not sure what the 250cc racing scene is like these days either with all the small displacement increases in new bikes over the years.

When I sold my 250 I ended up tearing it down and trying to turn it back to stock as much as i could and sell off the extras separately but I didn't really have any engine work either though.

Tough market, good luck man.

I would part it out if I could find someone that wants the major parts. I would even strip it down to as much of stock as I could, if I had a buyer for some of the “race” parts. I’m open to options.

However, if someone wants the whole thing, they will get one heck of a machine

I would love to take over ownership if I actually had any need of it
That's the same paint scheme as my wife's old new-gen we had back in the day. I like the new-gen 250s but they're obsolete like everything nowadays. I'm just steady rolling with my moldy-oldie first-gen.

Seems race-bikes are moving pretty good on various FB groups. I've had several get sold before I even had chance to contact seller.

I would hope so. I want to sell but I may just end up keeping it and using it at the local kart/mini track.

I always wanted to try mine on the kart track. I've taken another bike there, but not the Ninja.

Another member here told me $2000. That sounds fair to me.

Carbs for $300 with the motor. I would include my spare jets as well.

Open to parting the bike out. Send me offers for what you want.

Otherwise willing to let the whole thing go for $3000 at this point. I need it gone.

$3000 for this is a great deal. A track ready weapon or a 50mpg street bike. This thing is both.

How about $2300. Bike Only. Does that get anyone's attention?

PM me if interested and come pick this thing up.

It appears I am.

I just sold that bike locally for all of $2500. With $15,000+ into it, including the original purchase price, I am a little sad that it took that much to give away such a great bike.

Oh well....Look for a spare parts thread to show up soon. At least others should be able to purchase my spares for cheap to keep their bikes running!
