the "I" Upgraded or added a bike thread (pics only)

tc3jg · March 7th, 2010, 09:45 AM

Hey so this thread is for the members who bought a Ninja 250 and then purchased another bike either to replace the 250 or to just have a second bike. This thread is also for the people who decided to get a ninja 250 in addition to their larger bikes.
I will start it off,
Rode my 08 ninja 250r for about a year but on around 5000 miles after taking the Motorcycle course. Purchased this ninja 636 during the winter so that I got a good deal, Still have the 250r thus far.

Now you need all new matching gear like I had to do.

Enjoy the new bike.

Yeah ninja I do which kind of sucks lol but I have my eye on an alpine star jacket for when the weather gets hot and my girl bought me a pretty nice helmet for V-day so gloves and I will be ok the pants I get will be black as well as the boots.

ninja250 · March 7th, 2010, 10:04 AM

I bought a black and red bike when I had all blue and white gear

tc3jg · March 7th, 2010, 10:08 AM

YAH yeah that definitely wouldn't work lol. post pics up if you got em thats what this thread is for.

Angel-be-Good · March 7th, 2010, 10:33 AM

I went all the way up from a 250 to a 350.

...The Ninja is still faster.

I thought there was a thread for this:

The Ex-Ninjetters Lair

Verus Cidere · March 7th, 2010, 12:52 PM

Not even a thread. It's an entire sub-forum. And just because it says "Ex"-ninjetter's lair, doesn't necessarily mean that you don't have a ninjette anymore, just that you got a different bike.

TWO Harbor-Freight stands?! I mean, they're cheap enough, but are you expecting them to need simultaneous service? It probably would've made more sense to buy the other one with the front fork adapters as your second HF stand. It was the same price.

OR he could just paint it like he did his 250. It turned out so nice, why not?

Oh. IIRC, he found that it negatively impacted resale value or something.

Banzai · March 7th, 2010, 04:23 PM

Got a killer deal on a new '09. Couldn't keep the 250 due to other economic pressures.

Nearly 500 miles on my new toy now!

tc3jg · March 7th, 2010, 06:24 PM

HAHH lol I didnt know this existed....lol nice addition and sweet bikes

LOL well i have one for when I am at school and one for when i am not I am also getting the fork spindles so I can use the spool type stands to prop up the front, kinda wanted both stands to match. and yes lol they are cheap enough.

yeah it didnt really negatively affect the sale its just that dealers were a bit turned off but I have clear coated i now so it should be good to go once someone comes thru on their offer. the only reason I painted the 250 was the body work wasnt good but the new bike is fine and just needs a bit of touching up

Grn99Kawi · March 7th, 2010, 07:06 PM
