That’s a great deal. At 140km it’s not halfway thru its useful life - I’ve met FJRs with 500km that never had a wrench on them (except maintenance services).

Its still not even half way thru its dependable life.

I think the listing is pretty honest too. Front tire which the pic clearly shows and abs isn’t functional and rear drive bolt stripped.

I might be concerned about the last time the shaft drive fluid was changed and you can fix the treads/drain plug. The abs could be a spendy fix or leave it as is.

I wonder if you could get it certified without the ABS if it was OEM?

I'm kind of looking at/for an FJR and there are a few from the years 05 & 06 that are really good deals with mileage from about 60K to 120K in the $3-5K price range, depending how far you want to go the see/get it. Same goes for the ST1300, but it I think they're about 100lbs heavier than the already heavy FJR.

True it isn't a motorcycle but other then a vaguely 60's batmobile vibe it is kinda cool.

I'd love sell a handful of bikes to free up some of the money to park this on the flat roof of my garage, but then Olivia would see my new helipad as justification to skyrocket my property tax again :(

The stripped pumpkin can be fixed easily - helocoil, rubber plug or a used housing. All under $50 plus a couple of hrs.

The abs problem is typically gunk related. Road grime and moisture around the tone ring & sensors, sticky rear brake pedal pivot also throws a light. Cleaning them up takes an hour, almost always fixes the issue. . Worst case is a few hundred bucks for a used pump and abs module.
 
Any thoughts on what to price a 2016 Kawasaki Ninja 300 with only 1,100 km?

A couple scratches just on one side, very light. I put almost 100 of the 1,100 km on this bike to make sure it's all good.
Everything feels great and I was impressed with the bike... The Ninja 300, even at 10 years old, is still 10x better of a motorcycle than the junk we had to start on 20 years ago.

Oh wait, I lied, everything felt really great on the bike UNTIL I hit some bumps on the Gardiner and found the limits of the suspension lol. Still such a great beginner machine.

Chain has rust, haven't tried to see how much I can get off yet, but besides that, the bike is pretty damn clean!

$3,500? $3,750?

3500 would be a good deal that moves the bike to the first person who shows up. I price my stuff to sell, I figure setting a good firm price gets it sold fast, my time isn’t worth sorting thru 50 tire kickers for an extra $250.

By the way, if you haven’t taken a little ninja for a romp, they are lotsa fun. I bought my wife the last 250 they made, while a toy for most, I had a blast on that little bike. It was awesome in the city, and a favourite swap ride when I was group riding. Maintain them and they are nearly indestructible. We put 50k on ours 90% at 10000 rpm. It had like new compression and zero repairs up to the day I sold it.
