    What do you think about this bike/scenario as a beginner?

    Ok how about this deal. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-bikes/city-of-toronto/2012-ninja-250/1042202931 He'll deliver up to 100km away. I'm about 150km away. I'm sure I can pay him an extra 50 or so to have it delivered to me. How do the tires look? And...He posted this "Carbs were re jetted...

    What do you think about this bike/scenario as a beginner?

    Absolutely, probably worth it to spend 400 more and a few thousand kms more but be sure it's a legit sale. I guess what they say is true...If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

    What do you think about this bike/scenario as a beginner?

    Supposedly, yes. These are the sellers direct words. "I'm getting rid of my bike cuz i no longer use it since i went abroad for archaeological research where i'll be living for 2 long years and i left the bike to my brother who was keeping it since a few months but he called me a few days ago...

    What do you think about this bike/scenario as a beginner?

    Hi all, Recently found a 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250 for $2300 with 4800kms on it. The seller claims the low kms and cheap price is because he is studying abroad (which automatically sounded fishy to me) but then he continued to say that the bike would be delivered to my house by his friend who...

    Advice specifically for my situation? Insurance wise.

    Well, haven't made any calls yet, was planning on calling after I have had my M2 for a year. I did call RBC (my mom works there) and they told me they don't even consider anyone without a G for at least 3 years, plus I wouldn't even want to insure with any of the huge insurance companies.

    Advice specifically for my situation? Insurance wise.

    What we're talking about right now is: If I insure the bike in May 2014 VS (M2 for ~8 months, G 10 months, age 20) Insure in August 2014 (M2 for one year, G 1.3 years,age 20) Or scratch all that and just insure in May of 2015 (M2, 1.8 years, G ~ 2 years, age 21) What I read was that if you...

    Advice specifically for my situation? Insurance wise.

    Well I would actually ride on the weekends. Only problem with your suggestion is that by that time I'd have had my G for only 1 year. I got my G and M2 around the same time. No tickets, no claims.

    Advice specifically for my situation? Insurance wise.

    That's right I didn't mention what bike. Planning on the Ninja 250 if I find a good enough deal or if worst comes to worst a new 250CBR (don't want that in case I drop it). The thing is if I get one in winter, which is what I was planning actually, I was told I'd have to safety it and what not...

    Advice specifically for my situation? Insurance wise.

    Hi, new future rider here. I'm currently 19 years old, got my M2 on August 19th 2013. I was planning on doing that whole wait one year and then insure a bike thing but now I'm realizing I got my M2 pretty late into the year. I was hoping on getting a bike for commuting purposes and for fun so I...

    07 Ninja 250 for $2500?

    Well the $ isn't the biggest issue for me to be quite honest, (not now at least LOL). I can afford a new one, but I was told that a dealer won't sell without proof of insurance and I am not planning on buying insurance till next riding season. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    07 Ninja 250 for $2500?

    Exactly, I wasn't planning on keeping the bike longer than 2 years.I would probably add a fraction of the kilometres currently on it. And that was my take on it too, considering that the riding season is almost over, people will down their prices hoping to get a quick sell, anyway I'm going to...

    07 Ninja 250 for $2500?

    Yeah I can afford the insurance, not that I'll even start to insure myself this riding season. I just figured if I found a good deal on a bike, I'd jump on it because I know the starter bikes sell fast.

    07 Ninja 250 for $2500?

    Cool sounds good. Hopefully the bike is in good shape. I had a person in my MSF class who bought a ninja 250 for 1600, so I was just wondering. I thought 1600 was really low.

    07 Ninja 250 for $2500?

    Since I'm just beginning to ride, I don't have any friends with bikes yet and so can't ask for any advice. Basically saw a ninja 250 online for 2500. The seller has it listed at 12000 km but mentions in the description 12000 miles. So I emailed and I am waiting for a response. Seller also claims...
