So umm yeah...
Umm I think I just bought a 250... Went to the bike shop and they had a "used" 2012 Ninja 250 with 388 miles, owned by a friend of the dealer. And well, I made a few calls, got approved for financing and am just waiting on them to give me my money, and then I'm picking it up... WOO-HOO! I'm no longer a bikeless forum member!

Here are the dealer pics of it. I'll get some more up once I bring her home
Sorry I had to screen cap their pics, they don't let you download them. (As they shouldn't, people will steal them.)

She's a '12? Is she lime green or candy lime green? The 12's got the cooler candy color though it makes finding color matched parts interesting.
Congrat on your newest family member!!

But now I have to get a new jacket... haha I always planned on getting a black or white bike... so my jacket is red, black and white... so doesn't go with green And thank you!!! I feel like a little kid again, i've been smiling like an idiot since 10 this morning. It's something I've wanted since I was like 10. So finally getting it 10 years later... it's a good feeling!

Thank you. Honestly I wasn't sure about the ninja. Don't get me wrong, I get all excited for sports bikes like any other guy. But my biggest love was always UJM's and old english cafe racers. This forum literally changed my mind. I like to be part of communities, no matter what the subject. So when I was originally looking to buy the Suzuki TU250x, I joined the biggest forum they had... it sucked. Not a lot of people there, and they weren't very friendly. This place is just a really nice place to "stay" so to speak. So I said F it, Ninja it is!

The insurance probably would have been noticeably higher on the 300.
it was a good financial choice, saving 2k right away and a couple hundred throughout the year. Spend the money on good gear and full coverage insurance.

I'm really not a big fan of green... but I like this one a lot... then again maybe it's just because it's mine. And even though sometimes you know in your heart you have an ugly baby, you can't tell anyone else that

No I called them and explained everything. They said it was fine, it's marked as sold and we're on a verbal agreement. Plus I talked to mom and she's gonna pay them while I'm at work. But right now she's at the hospital because my grandfather is having open heart surgery... so not the best day for this to happen. lol

O yeah, just got back from getting my check! Sadly since the car died, and with my grandpa being in the hospital having surgery it didn't get paid for tonight. So I had to promise that I'd pay for it in full, tomorrow. But I work all day tomorrow... so I won't even get to be there when my bike is being purchased... Sadly it's going to snow tomorrow, so I won't be picking her up quite yet... I don't even have pictures yet. I'm not very happy, but given the current situation I can't complain!

Learning to ride a new bike is ideal in the snow. When you fall, it feels like pillows. Doesn't even scratch the bike up.

hahaha if it's not snowing when I get off work at 1, I might be riding her home tomorrow night... But we'll see. It's not the snow I'm worried about, it's that here we usually don't get a LOT of snow, just ice... with that thin layer of slippery snow on top. Plus all of the salt and sinder they lay in preparation for the snow. I'm not expert but I'm assuming hit that **** in a turn is like hitting gravel... and bad things follow...
Thanks though
