I think they use some loophole in some state that allows you to register "abandoned" bikes. It depends on the age of your vehicle. For my 1972 RV90, they registered it in their name in Alabama, then "sold" it to me. I showed up at the DMV with a legit Alabama title, and all the relevant paperwork that made it look like I bought a bike from down there, and they registered it, no questions asked, since it was legally registered with the AL DMV.

It figures it would be here in Alabama that they do that. All you need is a bill of sale/proof of ownership and $10 to get a new title. You don't even need a title to register something 10 years old or older. Once you have your registration, that counts as proof of ownership so you can get your $10 title. :v:

Are rednecks not common in your neck of the woods or something? I guess living in Alabama makes that ad nothing special to me as it describes basically everyone in this state.

On the bright side, you could probably go pretty far between fill ups with that 40 gallon tank he has.

Is...is it a hardtail? Because I would NOT want to ride a motorcycle with 150+hp and no rear suspension.

What color purse are you getting, Mary?

What color is your 250 again? I think it'd make a decent purse...

Candy Thunder Blue. :clint:
A Ninja 250 would make a pretty good purse. What would 2nd and 3rd place get?

My question is: what important things should I try to find out about this bike before I decide to purchase it?

The Ninja 250 Wiki needs to become your bible. This section in particular has a lot of relevant info for someone in your position.

Hmm..

I've been thinking lately. Screw this beginner bike <55 horespower stuff.
What I really want in life is a jet-turbine powered bike that shoots fire and runs on airplane fuel.
My budget is less than $20,000.

CA, any help?

Appx weight: 770

Yeah, sure. I don't think "approximately" means what this guy thinks it means. I have no doubt that thing can tip a scale to 770lbs, but only if you don't put the entire bike on the scale.

What's too good to be true about a $600 '84 Yamaha that needs a bunch of work? Do you mean too good to be true for the seller if he gets that much?

Dude on our local forum is selling his 2004 Aprilia RSVR 1000 Factory. He's an Aprilia freak of the highest order.

He's dropped the price to $5900.

Not a bad deal. I'd probably try and shoot for around 3k with the seat, considering the cost of replacing the bent seat, and if the valves haven't been adjusted.

Would you consider trading for a bike of equal value that you could flip just as easily, if not easier (my 2009 Ninja 250)? I haven't really tried that tactic yet, but I think I might ask.

This has been up for a while, still is, I'm kinda surprised. All I can figure is that the guy won it in a contest or something, there isn't even enough miles on it to scare yourself, probably just from rolling around the dealer. That, and him being very willing to take a huge cash hit on it, it seems a contest prize or something.

I would imagine his Harley dealer offers what all of them offer here; delivery to your house. I can't figure out the mindset of people who want to spend Harley money on something and then not even have the fun of driving it off the dealer's lot. I mean, you just spent a few grand for the privilege.
