Bought a 250 today.
I finally found the one I've been looking for, a 2004, one owner with 5150mi. and a new battery for $1500, and it runs great. It needs a front brake lever and tires, but no scratched plastic, and it hasn't been molested. Too bad it's Yellow
But for the price/condition, I can live with it. Hey, it's Hi-Viz right? My camera died, but at least I got one pic. |

Congratulations, I like the yellow personally but if you want a different color then I suggest using plasti dip, if you don't like it then you can peel it right off and you're back to square 1.

Congrats! Looks like you got a good deal. And the yellow looks good!
Now it's time to change the brake fluid, check the valve adjustment, adjust the chain, look into new tires, and on, etc... |

Thanks! It needs tires first thing, so when I pull the wheels, I'll go over the bike and do a major service before I even take it out on the road. Once I pull off the bodywork I'll see what kind of surprises are waiting...
Should be okay though, I checked it over pretty well before handing over the cashola. Thanks for the link, Motofool. |

I love the yellow. That is the only color I have ever had for my ninjettes. I just wish Kaw would make more yellow bikes. I like the yellow they use.

I have the 2012 black with the yellow accents, kind of wish they would have done a yellow one with the black accents. Big fan of that look
