FS - '10 Kawasaki Ninja 250R SE - < 300 Miles - Tons of Mods - $4200 OBO - CA

[nattygirl]

2010 Special Edition Kawasaki Ninja 250R
Less Than 300 Miles
Over $1500 in Mods
$4200 OBO

So I hate to do this, but I've come to realize that I have to sell my Ninja. I initially bought it to ride along with my husband (He has a 09 GSXR 750) but with two kids, and now a third (Just had a baby in Sept), I just don't have the time to go out and ride it, let alone along with my husband. Also, I just don't feel like I want to risk possibly getting hurt on the motorcycle now that I have a newborn baby boy.

After getting the bike, I enjoyed modding it almost as much as I did riding it, so with this bike you are getting lots of extras. Over $1500 in mods. I don't want to part anything at this point, so please don't ask. If I find the bike is hard to sell at this price, then I'll possibly consider parting it out. But to be honest, whoever buys it has a huge opportunity to make a lot of their money back if they choose to part it out themselves. I personally do not have the time to do it. Any stock parts that I still have will also go to however buys it. (For sure, I don't have the stock levers - I gave them to a friend) This bike has never been dropped. It was tipped over once (happened before I lowered it), but there are no signs of damage. It is truly in immaculate condition, is one of a kind, and has always had a bike cover over it. So here's the list of mods that you'll get owning this bike along with the prices I paid for some of them.


Performance Mods:
- Carbs Shimmed (3 washers each)
- Kleen Air System Removed
- Snorkel Removed
- Two Brothers Black Series Carbon Fiber Slip-on Exhaust w/ Red Bolts & Silencer ($444)

- Color-Matching Fairing Bolts
- Keiti Tribal Tank Pad ($17)
- Roaring Toys Lowering Kit (Front Risers, Lowering Links, Blk/Red Kickstand) ($190)
- Shogun Frame Sliders ($100)
- Shinto Gloss Black Rear Fender ($350+)
- Gloss Black OEM Solo Cowl w/ OEM Leather covering Rubber Pad ($100)
- OEM Rear Seat
- Clear DMP Integrated LED Tail Light ($80)

All those mods, a 2010 and less than 300 miles...

You've done some things I want to do, so I'm going to PM you in a few minutes.

[nickjpass]

I like your camera, what do you have?

[saxnbass]

That'd be a Canon EOS Rebel T2i

[nickjpass]

Every good camera costs as much as a bike, or at least half of one.

That's correct!

Natalie, sorry to hear that you are giving up the bike... never got a chance to meet up as the meets were always to far away for you. I've watched you mod this bike via this site though and had always wanted to see it in person. GL on your sale and honestly I don't blame you for selling

[nattygirl]

Thanks Cazper. I wish we could've met as well. I was never really comfortable with my riding skills to go so far for the meet ups.

[dragonboy]

for a clean 250. I too followed your bike progress. Great job modding, it's almost as fun as riding. Congrats on the new baby boy and GLWS.

Hope to see you back on the forum again someday.

[nattygirl]

Thanks!

[Nemesis]

The hardest thing about selling a fully modded bike is it kinda takes the fun away of modding your bike from the purchaser. Which is why you'd have a better chance of selling the bike if put back to stock...well, at close as you can to stock that is.

Also, you'd make more money parting things.

Either way, best wishes.

Oh, and congrats on the 3rd one.

[nattygirl]

Yeah, I realize that. I just don't have the time to take it apart and part it right now. Then I have to deal with packing and shipping things out, things like that. I would just prefer to sell the whole thing at once, at this point. I'm in no hurry to get rid of it, so if I can't sell it as a whole, then I'll consider parting it later on down the road.

[Cazper]

if you decide down the road to part you can always bring it to a tech day and get help putting it back to stock

If you don't mind losing a few bolts

[Kstorm21]

HI, I would buy it but shipping to Hawaii would be pretty expensive.

[Cazper]

We are having a tech day on Jan. 14th & 15th if you are interested in us helping you put it back to stock so you can possibly make the sale easier. You'll make money both on the bike and in selling off the aftermarket parts... just throwing it out there

GLWS!!

[nattygirl]

Bump!!! Anyone looking for a new bike. Price is negotiable, but no low ball offers. I tried lowering the price on my first post, but it doesn't give me the option to edit it anymore. Looking to get $4200.

[CZroe]

Just wanted to point out that the OP doesn't mention the hugger even though it's pictured. Is it included? How much?

Uhh... her sig calls it a hugger and a search in page only showed her sig. That was AFTER scanning the list for "hugger" visually. FWIW, I think of the mud flap "rear fender" or the front tire fairing when anyone says "fender," but I guess it's every bit as appropriate as calling the one on the front tire a "fender."

OP: Good luck with sale.

[nattygirl]

Updated my sig. Hope that helps!!!

And sorry, but looking to sell local only. No shipping

[nattygirl]

Bump

That's not why people don't like to buy modded bikes. It's usually because the bikes are thrashed and that's why parts are replaced. Normally, people start modding after they actually ride the bike and know what needs to be changed and why. But this one was essentially never ridden, so I'd expect it to go pretty quickly on craigslist. If she spent as much time on the bike as she did changing out every part imaginable, she might know how to ride it and not be so quick to sell it.

[Nemesis]

Pretty quick huh? See date of original post.

Yeah what I said was "pretty quickly on craigslist" to be exact. This isn't craigslist.

Well, there you have it OP. Try craigslist.

[nattygirl]

I'm selling this bike simply because my priorities have changed. It is not my skills that I question but rather those careless drivers that simply have no regards towards motorcyclists. It is not worth it to me to put my life at risk when I have a baby to care for. Although I want to sell this bike, I am not desperate to get rid of it which is why I have not listed it on Craigslist. I do not wish to deal with all of the BS that comes with a craigslist listing. Plus, I would prefer to have a fellow Ninjette members purchase it.

[massacremasses]

ha I didnt put mine up on here and only on CL because everyone is to cheap on here

[USMCEvan]

K lemme go rob a bunch of tourists real quick and then I'll buy the bike - it's just too damn sexy.


No but really, GLWS, that thing is gorgeous!

[ARc]

I'm actually in the market for a new bike in couple of months, and am located in the Cerritos area. If this is still available when I have my finances ready, I'll PM you. Please keep this post updated!

[nattygirl]

It's still available.

Nice try though, captain save-a-ho.

[drac]

I stand corrected. My apologies Cynical.

While I stand by my assertion she made the right choice. I am guilty of not reading the entire post/thread.

Sorry dude, I jumped the gun.

[as10o5]

I wish I was still living in that San Gabriel/San Bernandino County...

Good luck with the sale! I'll PM you if I ever move back and this bike is still for sale. Haha.

[ARc]

Do you know what height this bike was lowered to? Is there any way to adjust it?

You can always return the bike to stock height if it is too low for you. It takes less than an hour. Here is the link to the roaring toyz website if you are curious. http://www.roaringtoyz.com/parts_lowering-links.html

[nst416]

I sent you a PM.

Yeah I guess I've been guilty of that a couple times myself. So... don't apologize to me. I should lighten up that reply a little.
