2004 Ninja 250-r for 900$

skittles4u3 · October 27th, 2014, 09:10 PM

Is it a good deal to buy a Ninja 250-r for 900$. It has 12k miles, new battery, recent tune up, brand new tires, new brake line, and clean/clear title.

Looks like a good buy to me!!! But why not try and get it for $750 just for the hell of it

If it runs well, and drives fine with no apparent issues, I'd ride that bike ALL DAY LONG for $900. Looks like all the farings are in solid shape too..

Looks like a pretty fair deal to me but I would still give it a good lookover.

Oh, welcome!

I'd be all over that; it's not suspiciously underpriced, especially considering it's close to 12,000 miles so it's had a lot of opportunities to be mis-treated. Not that I'd let that bother me, it probably still has a ton of life left.

It's not unusual around here to see one with some miles in the $1000 ballpark.

Honestly if it were me, and it ran as cleanly as it looks, I'd be all sorts of OK paying $900 for that bike. If it needed carbs cleaned, or a tuneup and some maintenance, or maybe a chain or something... Offer $750 and come up as far as $800.
