Hey guys,
So I'm gonna be in the process of getting licensed over the next several months and I was just browsing online for starter bikes (Ninja 250/300) to at least get an idea how much these bikes would cost.
I have a few questions hopefully you can help me out with, however.
1) Would it be premature in getting a bike now before I'm even licensed nor have any riding experience? I assumed listings for bikes would be kind of cheaper now during winter so I thought, why not try and take advantage of that? Any sense or truth in that, anyway?
2) Should I avoid buying a bike that is, lets say, an 08 or 09 model because of its age? There's a bike that I'm currently looking at that's an 08 Ninja 250 but it only has 6k km on it as this owner (2nd owner) only rode it for a a few seasons and then had it stored for the past 4 years albeit properly during the winter months.
Again, here I'm assuming that as long as the bike has been properly maintained and has no significant repair that is needed, it shouldn't be a big deal?
Appreciate your help and suggestions!
