@brom0sapien nope, i have this same bike, there isnt a gas gauge, but there is a reserve switch, so if you run out of gas, switch to reserve and get to a gas station :)
Hey Rin are you selling this bike by any chance? I live in Portland as well and am looking for a ninja 250 to buy. If you know anyone selling some older ninjas, below 2006, let them know that I wanna get into the riding community! :D
Hey I want to get this bike, but I don't want to look like a pussy on such a small bike. Does this bike have a negative connotation behind it with being so small?
The only people who see you as "pussies" on this bike are fuckin squid retards that think that 1200cc's is the only way to go. This bike is amazing. It is VERY reliable, and can pick up plenty of speed. When the hell are you gonna go 160 anyways?
It is a little small. So if you're a bigger guy, it might look a little wierd. But as for handling itself and holding you, it has absolutely not problem.
This bike is like the honda civic of cars man. Everyone has 'em :)
@Tritaga Thanks, i've definately been considering buying one. I need a learning bike that won't get me killed, and the 08's and up look pretty nice. All the reviews point to yes haha.
Holy shit Rin. You're not gonna believe this, Buell broke the contract between themselves and Harley. So since Buell didn't want to buy back any of the bikes in the Harley dealerships anywhere, Harley is dropping the price big time on their remaining Buells. The Harley in my town is selling A BRAND NEW, 0 MILES ON IT Buell 1125 R for... Are you ready for this...6,000 FLAT! A 1000 for 6 grand. AND MY DAD'S GONNA TAKE ME TO SEE IT TOMORROW!
any small displacement motorcycle should be downshifted if possible to complete a pass
bikes have a general power curve of going up with high RPMs, so if ur riding at 4K rpm nd wanna pass a guy, downshift and accelerate and ull get past him fine
for numberical sense lets say its 10k rpm redline and u get 10 horse per thousand revs, if ur riding at 4k u get 40 horse, shift down and go to 8k revs ur increasing ur power(not actual statistics obviously)
I got a question, my gf has a 2006 ninja 250r, I'm 6ft 175lbs, never rode a streetbike or a dirt bike for the fact being, and shes upgrading to a 600, it only has 2700miles on it and in immaculate shape, and she would sell it to me for $1600, would this bike be too small for me to ride and start out on ??
im in california i have one 2006 ninja 250r its for sale,,,, 850 miles on it,in counting,,the price is 2500,,, clean tile,,no drop it,,
