2009 Ninja 250 race/trackbike - $3000 obo (socal)
So, after much deliberation, I determined that it didn't make sense to keep my ninja 250 anymore. I've had this thing basically it's whole life and my whole riding career, and it's served me well, but I have more travelling to do, and it doesn't make sense to not have this thing on the grid. So if anyone still wants a cheap entry level race/track bike, I just spent the whole day cleaning up the carbs and every crevasse of this thing. That said- my baby's got:
Ohlins rear shock Racetech emulators/traxxion dynamics springs in front Slingshot Racing Preload Adjusters Zero gravity double bubble windscreen woodcraft clip ons/rearsets steel braided brake lines Leo Vince Exhaust Woodcraft Brake Lever Guard Safety wired Pirellis (SC1 front, rosso II rear) 2 sets of race body work (a full set mounted, and a full set of spares..... I liked playing dress up) Ballistic Evo 2 lightweight LiON battery I think that's everything? Fully legal for CVMA, AFM, and MRA, and perfectly capable of going fast with someone other than myself on it (As seen when literally anyone but me rode it). I'm sure I've got other spare levers, bars, and such lying around that I can throw in, too. Oh, and I also actually have a clean title attached to this bike still, since it was once my dedicated commuter/travel buddy. Yay, I think? That's all. Post or PM me with any questions! |

I wasn't going to sell my ninja initially, but I'm hoping to head to South America next, and this will help fund the boat trip from Panama to Colombia, so it'll be worth it! Travel is addicting

Your article is actually a contributing reason for me to be planning some sort of motorcycle travel soon.
South America? That could be scary, or at least I've been lead to believe that. I guess careful planning is key. I'll look forward to reading about that trip. Sorry for the hijack, but at least it keeps bumping your sale post. |

^ I know
To the OP, nice bike! I'm sure someone will buy it quick. Speaking of traveling, I'm planning to buy a cruiser and do cross-country. Not as far as S. America, but still exciting to see new surroundings and culture. Good luck on your travels!

And yep- doing my best to cross all my T's and dot all my I's on that one. But from what I'm told of people who have traveled south, the media way overstates the dangers, and people in these cultures are generally really good and don't mess with motorcycles too much, so I'm hoping for the best. I'll still be extra cautious, of course, but my biggest fears right now are really hoping my FZ (And my dirt skills- or lack there-of) can make it around the roads! Thanks! Definitely do it! I've never met anyone who regretted just going on a trip with their motorcycle. no matter what kind it is. If you can, I definitely recommend camping as much as possible! It's not always the most comfortable, but you'll see way more of the country, and you'll meet a lot more people than you probably would in a hotel- and you meet some of the best people at campgrounds. But either way, no doubt you'll have a blast. It's amazing how vastly different culture in our own country changes from one state to the next

Get a klx with the money and ride through south america instead of boating
Glws, I bet it'll go quick but if you end up parting it out I'm interested in the shock

And I'll let you know! I've definitely been considering just parting it out, since bikes are usually always worth more that way, but I figured I'd start with the easiest method first
