Help a noobie please?
I hope this is the right section and I apologize if it isn't.
I am going to look at someone's like new 2012 red ninjette with 588 miles. If all checks out and the bike is fine what is the ball park value of this bike? I can't find anything consistent |

I've seen them listed from 3500-4000. KBB Lists it as $3,855.

You didn't say, but I should mention if it's the SE model, the value does go up a little bit. KBB lists at $3,970. KBB prices are dealer prices as well, so private sales shouldn't be expected to be as high as that.

It's red so I don't think it is an SE. They are asking 3700 currently and I'm going to check it out tonight. It has an adjustable link and handlebar risers on it right now.

Try to get them down to 3500 due to sales tax.

I'd use KBB values as reference but come in with something like $3000. You never know, he may be highly motivated to sell it, or just use it as a starting point in negotiating. Also, disregard aftermarket parts and upgrades from your negotiating price. Negotiate as if it were 100% stock. When I was looking for mine, it seemed like there were quite a few 250s in the panhandle, so supply & demand and such. Good luck, hope you get a great bike and great deal!

A lot of folks go "Oh look, why don't I get a MOTORCYLE???!!!" . This is 'cause they is Girls say "Dadt be real kwul." . Buddy says "Hey, ME TOO!" They both say "Man these bikes is so f******* fast!!!" Then they . Almost "Kills dem selfs" Pops says what the hell were you thinking and the Craigslist ad reads: MOTORCYCLE is up for sale with 300miles. Good for us . Bad for them .

I think $3500 would be the highest I'd go. I got my 1997 for $875 and don't regret it at all! Just keep in mind that some people want to sell their 250's after a year or so (like this guy).
