    Picking up a Ninja 250 Monday.... tires?

    Thanks I looked at that, the review is for a heavier 500cc bike and they were tested at the track, so the results may be skewed for a ninja... that review puts Avons at the top which I read at ninjette that Avon is terrible on the 250 maybe even dangerous. Im down to the GT501, BT45 and sport...

    High mileage Ninja 250r, opinion?

    Thanks I'm on there. (ninjette) I quoted rebuilt because he said rebuilt in his sentence but then explained it as going over everything in the engine to find the issue which ended up being the carbs. It was inspected by a licensed motorcycle mechanic that works for someone I do business with...

    High mileage Ninja 250r, opinion?

    Hey thanks for the info. I wasn't really thinking it was high mileage overall, more so in comparison to other 08+ 250 ninjas currently for sale as they all tend to hover around <8000... I assume because they're newish, we don't get as long of a riding time in Canada, and mostly beginners have...

    High mileage Ninja 250r, opinion?

    Thanks for the info. It's 17,000km/11,100 miles... Current owner 'rebuilt' the engine this past December to clean/fix the carbs.. I mentioned to the mechanic it was Likely due for a valve adjustment before bringing it in and to look out for that, he inspected it (didnt take anything apart or...

    How long is not as long? Obviously it depends on the rider, but are we talking like half the life?

    Picking up a Ninja 250 Monday.... tires?

    I'm picking up a 2008 Green Ninja 250r on Monday, it needs new tires for safety. I've looked at the tire guide thread, but I'm looking for suggestions on where to get a good price on tires and personal opinion for what you'd suggest for the 250r... I'm a beginner. In Barrie I got a quote for a...

    Getting a Ninja 250 (first bike)

    Yeah, I'm doing the course next weekend too so long as get it off work... Where are you taking it? I live in Barrie, so Georgian College. (I also work there and get an employee discount... a measly $25 off haha!)

    Getting a Ninja 250 (first bike)

    Thanks. How did you pay tax on only $2000? The MTO website states that you pay on the purchase price or the Canadian Red Book value whichever is greater... Is the Red Book value less than $2000? That's why I was asking the question. I can calculate the tax on the purchase price easily, I was...

    Getting a Ninja 250 (first bike)

    Hi All, I'm in the market for a used Ninja 250r. Just wondering if anyone knows the Canadian Red Book value on an 08-10 model. I'd like to know what I may be looking at for tax if I find a good deal below wholesale... Also, if anyone is selling a 250R (preferably green) let me know! Thanks...

    Thanks man

    Hello

    Yeah the quote was for any Ninja 250r after 2008. I thought it seemed pretty awesome too. I'm also 26 so I'm sure that played a role.

    Hello

    Well the 250r is apparently considered a 'street' bike not a sport bike, I believe once you hit 600cc then it's a sport. Yeah, my car insurance broker quoted me $1768. I'll take Riders Plus over that.
