Trying to help a friend: 2008 Ninja 250 CHEAP!!

lstat · September 22nd, 2012, 03:33 PM

An old friend of mine moved off to college and his mother is currently trying to sell his Ninjette, its a green 2008 with 2,700 miles. I am tired of seeing her drop the price on this thing and it not move, its gone all the way from $3,000 to $2,100 just recently. Everybody knows just as well as I do that this is a steal for this bike.....It has its usual scratches from riding but otherwise is in great condition and I believe (from looking at it) it is a completely stock bike. It is located in North Western Arkansas, roughly a 30 minute drive from the Missouri/Arkansas border. If anybody knows somebody looking I really want to help her move it FAST!!! Thanks guys!

Regular scratches? Mine doesn't have any scratches

Kevin2109 · September 22nd, 2012, 03:35 PM

I bet @Alex says something about this not meeting the TOS

And damn, thats a great price, I would pick that up in a heartbeat if I had the money, and was close

Go troll somewhere else @Jiggles

Bikes get scratches from rocks and **** like that while riding, just like cars

Jiggles · September 22nd, 2012, 03:37 PM

Hey dick! I'm wondering what scratches since he bothered to mention it. Could be dropped scratches eh?

lstat · September 22nd, 2012, 03:47 PM

Usual scratches (in my garage) are people that do not pay attention and: lean things against the bike, run their hands down the sides, sit things on top of it, etc. etc.

You know, the usual stuff

When I am home and near there is a very wide radius around my bike in which nobody steps or places anything, long story short I learned the hard way with my vfr...

I would love to give a lot more details on it but unfortunately all I have is the attached Facebook link to the 'yard sale' group it was posted in. Definitely contact her for more info, as I said, I am only trying to help her out and possibly bring a member here to find their next toy!

Jiggles: As far as I know the bike has never been dropped, babied for the most part, he never really rode it a lot that I remember. It was more of a toy for the weekends.

Man, I wish I was in a position to buy another bike. I'd jump all over this. Has she tried posting ads for it? I'd think that thing would go quickly.

vman1313 · September 23rd, 2012, 09:45 AM

Id buy it too if I was closer!!!!

Jiggles · September 23rd, 2012, 12:33 PM

Deliver it to CA and I'm in

Aggrotech · September 23rd, 2012, 02:19 PM

yeah i have a ladyfriend who reallllly wants one, has her m1 and everything, just trying to find the right deal. in CA aswell.

jwollam · September 23rd, 2012, 06:15 PM

Don't be afraid to look at uship.com for getting the bike shipped. I bought my 2008 ninja 250 from Vegas and had it shipped to northern california. Total cost was under $300. You can find some amazing deals on uship if you're flexible with your times.

lstat · September 24th, 2012, 10:35 AM

John has the right idea with uship.com, that would make life a lot easy for all of you in California!

I will get her email address and phone number for anybody that wants to contact her.

rabies · September 25th, 2012, 08:59 AM

hmm. i get paid $2500 on the first.
branson is close to dad 8hrs away....highly considering...man i have to stop buying bikes

rjones91 · September 25th, 2012, 09:17 AM

Post it on Craigslist.

lstat · September 25th, 2012, 11:43 PM

Jesse, you know you want it

My mother and I have both told her to post it on Craigslist, I dont know that she has but it would be extremely smart to...Someone local seemed interested when talking to me but I do not believe they contacted her so it is still available as far as I know (pretty likely).

JustRidin · September 29th, 2012, 09:44 AM

Hmm, assuming it is mechanically sound I'd be more than happy to come pick it up. Is there a contact number I could reach her by. I'm located in Rolla, MO. ~3 hours away.

miss_syn · September 29th, 2012, 12:24 PM

Argh. Why am I so far away?
