New rider, long time lurker!

Hey guys and gals,

I just wanted to formally introduce myself, I've been a member of the forums for quite some time now, but have really been just lurking, and absorbing all the knowledge I've been reading up with the discussions here.

I'm active duty Air Force, currently stationed here at Travis AFB, CA. Might be moving within the next year because it's about that time.
I also recently went through and successfully passed the BRC, and it was a very good experience, and I highly recommend it as well for anyone else wondering.

Currently waiting for my DL 389, so I can bring it to DMV and get my M1 endorsement!

I suppose while I'm here, is $4600 a good price for a used ~100miles White 2011 250R from a private seller?
Trying to buy any color used, but the white '11 are just so sexy in my eyes.

Anyway, I look forward to being more active on the forums, as well as getting a Ninjette soon!

For that price you can probably pick yourself up a brand new non-SE 2010-2011 Ninja 250. I think it might be a little too high, but it depends on the bike's history I suppose.

Seller states he bought it from his neighbor, who won it at the kawasaki give away.
He bought it for $5K, and it's under 100 miles, in perfect condition, or as perfect as a used bike can get.
I also called a dealer, who gave me a $5200 otd price for a new white 2011.
Still looking around though!

Welcome!

Seems to me if the dealers in your area aren't going to go below $5k you'd might as well take the $600 savings that come with the used bike. 100 miles is practically brand new as long as the owner hasn't dropped it or flogged it during the break-in.

Thanks so much for the warm welcome folks!

Currently looking into purchasing a ninjette, i do have a lot of options, mind letting me know what you think of these?

Blue 2010 - ~500 miles --$4K Another active duty AF selling their bike here on base.
Blue 2010 - ~720 miles --$4K Random Person from SF
White 2011 - ~100 miles --$4600 Another Random person from SF
Red 2010 - ~200 miles -- $3K, lost title, "ordered" a new one and is waiting for it to arrive (possible scam?)

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
