What's a good price for a used 07 Ninja 250r? I've seen them for $2000-ish in my area, but I'm looking at a used one on craigslist with 17k miles for $1750. Looks really clean and the guy says it's had new tires and oil recently. It's potentially going to be my first bike. Should I jump on this deal? http://spacecoast.craigslist.org/mcy/883205127.html

Z3n posted:It's been down, probably hard. Just keep that in mind when you go to look at it. You can tell from the spray job on the tank and the dents, the hosed up clutch cable. I'd consider it, but you need to have an experienced rider for a test ride, go over everything, and ask about accident damage. If he denys it was ever down, run. Check EVERYTHING with a fine tooth comb. If it's all good, talk him down to 1500$ and go for it. If he goes much below 1500$, that'd be suspicious. Is there anything besides what's in the http://www.biekwiki.com/index.php/Buyers_guide list that I should look for?

http://orlando.craigslist.org/mcy/1143536715.html $1500 seems too good to be true. Does anything about this ad indicate something wrong with the bike?

Gr3y posted:Seems reasonable for a Ninjette. However... "Plastics a bit rough" + NOS sticker probably means the bike has been down a few times. Yeah, the mentioning of the rough plastics concerns me. I don't really care about the aesthetics of the bike since it's going to be my first and I'll probably lay it down anyway, but I don't want to buy something that's mangled up and is dangerous to ride.

Z3n posted:From the pics, the plastics actually don't look that bad. I'd buy that if I was looking for a starter bike. Ask him when the valves were done last, and if it wasn't recently, get him to knock some money off the price. I'm going to go see it tomorrow and I'll ask about the valves, though I have no idea what that entails. What is a good amount of time for 'recent' and how much should I ask off? Also, he mentions that it needs a new front tire. Is that something a novice can change after reading up about it or am I going to need to take it to a shop? Do you guys have any last minute advice on what I should look for before I go to inspect it? Any questions I should definitely ask? Thanks again guys, appreciate the input.

http://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/mcy/1246758846.html $2900 for a 2008 Ninja 250 with a broken front left turn signal and 4000 miles. Seems like a good deal since most 08's seem to be listed at $3500+ around here. Should I jump on this?

http://ninja250.kingston.net/ninja-value.html I saw this posted on a ninja 250 forum and it puts a 2008 Ninja 250 with 4k miles at $2262.05. That seems pretty low to me, but then again I know nothing about motorcycle values being a newbie. Should I try and talk this guy down from $2900? If so, what reasoning should I use?
