2014 ABS (high miles) VS 2015 non-ABS (low miles)
Hey guys - just looking for some advice. As this will be my first bike, I'm torn between two options:
1. 2014 Ninja, ABS, 10 000 miles, Yosh exhaust, great shape, pearl white: $3000 2. 2015 Ninja 300, no ABS, 500 miles (almost never ridden), great shape, kawi green: $3300 I can't really tell if there are any differences between the two years (is there?), so I guess it comes down to miles vs ABS? What do you guys think, which option is better for a beginner and best deal? Thanks |

I don't consider 10,000 miles to be high at all. I put that many on one of my motorcycles the first year I had it. What you have is low miles, and nearly new. ABS is a great safety feature. I can't say how good the prices are, but I'm sure you've compared them to others on Craigslist.

Both are pretty much new, 10k is nothing for these bikes. I did more than that on my bikes last year alone. There are numerous examples of 250s surpassing 100K-miles without issue and continuing on.
Go for ABS bike, it's great safety feature that you'll be glad you have when you need it. |
