How much $$$ have you wasted on your ninjette?
Just wondering what all you other fools with no self control have spent on your bikes. I know a lot of you go crazy with the mods (raises hand)
Count anything that you have added or altered on your bike, don't count maintanence stuff. For example, if you bought a colored chain you would add that, but if you bought a replacement chain because yours wore out you would not add that. Understand? Alright lets go! List your mods with prices if you want. Currently I'm at $1700 and it doesn't even look that good

1. Galfer SS brake Line 2. Driven Clip Ons 3. Slingshot Racing preload adjusters 4. racetech springs 5. racetech gold valve emulators 6. Stomp Grip traction pads 7. Pro Grip tank pad 8. Pro Grip gel grips 9. bohemian racing rear sets 10. area p high mount race exhaust 11. dynojet jet kit 12. the2wheels levers 13. k&n filters (crank case breather + airbox replacement) 14. armour bodies supersport fairings 15. paint Probably missing something here...

I made money on mine and there isn't a catagory for that. This is discrimination at the highest level. If I was a lawyer I would be riding that new Honda race replica from the settlement I got after I won it court on a frivolous law suit.

Around $800, the Area-P race exhaust took up a large chunk of that. Only other things I've added are Spiegler SS brake lines and Woodcraft clip-ons.

I don't want to think about it.
I bought the bike for 1600. I'm well into the nearly-2000 range on mods alone I think Whatever, my bike rocks! EDIT: for reference, my mod list is in my signature. Feel free to peruse and be jelly. Maybe I'm over 2000? Still worth it. The bike is completely mine. |

Nada. All parts added so far have come off of prior bikes (free), and new tires don't count.

the gauge was only like 275, the adapter board and plug n play kit made it incredibly stupid easy to install so it was worth the extra money imo

Sorta. Koso's are cool looking, but not something I would buy because they change colors and I wouldn't want that to happen while riding. It would bug me hardcore and distract me from my riding.

Should I let you near my bike because its safe to assume that you know it inside and out or should I never let you near my bike because you will just end up breaking something?

Every time I thought about spending money on the 250, I just decided to save that money toward a new bike. So far though, I haven't 'passed up' enough mods to upgrade!

You are missing negative numbers on the poll. So far I'm ahead of the game. I've paid off the bike and everything I've done to it and all the gear and stuff I've bought in just fuel savings alone.
