Just picked up a White Ninja

Here she is 2009 Ninja 250r









I am the second owner and the bike has just over 9000 miles on it. Has Area P full exhaust, 2 washers on carb needle, fender eliminator, HID 6000k, brake light and head light modulators, frame sliders (not pictured, I have to put them back on). The previous owner also gave me a left fairing just in case I need it, fingers crossed I don't need it though. It's in excellent condition besides the crack around the turn signal from his mom tipping it over in the garage.

I got it for $2500, was it a good deal?

Thanks guys
I've been looking for a 250 since April and I gotta say it was worth the wait. All the mods were ones I was planning on doing myself so I definitely lucked out.

Sweet bike, doesn't look like the crack is very big, It looks like Tri's flushmounts might cover over them.

Hmm good idea, if the crack starts to bother me I'll look into those. Thanks.

Sweet bike!

Got mines 2 days ago, very similar to yours except in gunmetal instead of white. How're you liking the Area P exhaust? Sometimes I think it's kinda unnecessarily loud...

I actually like how loud it is, and I like how it sounds too. The only time I don't like how loud it is, is when I'm leaving my apartment. The way the building is set up, the car park is under some of the apartments... I don't want to piss off my neighbors every time I leave or come back.

Congrats on your bike as well!

Haha, yep, in my opinion, the best SE color combo I've seen so far. And probably the rarest.

Congrats man. I just got a green 250 with exhaust and eliminator already done too.

The white looks real sexxxy. If I hadn't wanted a green ninja since I was like 10, I think white would be the only other choice.

Yeah now that I think about it I don't think I've ever seen the White SE.

Thanks! And red might be faster... to the cops
Dunno if the higher rate of red cars getting pulled over thing applies to sportbikes. The fast looking bike factor probably cancels out the color factor.

I remember way back in elementary school a guy across the street had a green Kawasaki and I wanted it haha. If I hadn't found the white one, my next choice was green.
And congrats on your bike too! What exhaust do you have?

Good choice yours was a steal!

Our pricing is much higher up here In Canada.

It's got an MGP Growler slip on with the baffle in. It may be a little grumbly for me, we'll see, I like a higher smoother sound. We'll see though I've still got less than 10km under 50km/h on it due to some unfortunate circumstances with licensing/safetying etc... So it may grow on me.

Yeah the MGP Growler is a little too grumbly for me, I like how loud it is, but something about the tone isn't for me. And that's a bummer, hope your licensing gets worked out soon.
