thinking of getting a bike...

that's awesome man, I like the yellow on that thing .... I'm hopefully getting mine by the end of the week so yea man I'll keep u guys updated

Congrats on the purchase...one thing about storing, read up on the owners manual and do everything the manual recommends before storing the bike.

At the bare minimum, fill up the tank full, put the some fuel stabilizer in the tank, Make sure to get the stabilized fuel to the carbs, and pull the battery out and put it on a trickle charger.

BTW, what year's the bike and how many miles? Also, how much did you pay.

and if you store it make sure to run the bike (not drive it, just let it run) every once in a while so the fluids stay fresh and stuff too u know, like just warm it up and shut it back down.

its a 2004 Ninja 250, just over 2000 mi. I got it for $2200. Maybe in a year or 2, when I get accustomed to streetbikes, I'll probably move up to a 600. But that's in the long run...

You will be very happy you didn't buy that bike new. The break-in period on that bike...is...TORTURE. Just because during it's first break-in...the thing can barely make it to 40 mph. But you don't have to worry about it.

Sounds like you got a pretty good deal, were you the first person to look at the bike?

yeah...i was the first. Actually the guy wasn't even selling it. I was told by a member of Ninja250.org that he bought it for his wife and his wife didnt like it. So I gave him a call..and voila...bike sold to me....

:yumyum: :druel:

is that a 600 or 900?

I think it's a 900

in that same body style for both 650 and 955? or does the body style change for the 650?

not bad not bad I like those

wooohooo...got my learners permit today. i was just bored today and thought i'd give the dmv a visit. i was just trying to find out what i need to do to get a motorcycle license. 15 mins later, i'm out with a learners permit...woohoo...

How did u get it? I need mine and I dk if they'll let me get it since I'm under 18

yeah...you have to be at least 18.
All I did was show them my drivers license, then took the written (computer) test and thats it....

ahhh damn it knew it lol well congrats on that man, at least ur legit on the road now lol I have to wait 2 1/2 more months lol

Damn you must live in the 21st century. The motorcycle permit test here is still paper, fill in the ovals style.

it was my first time too having to take a test on a computer. it was actually fun, much more easier and relaxed, hence the quick manner in which I got my permit.

even tho I'm legit on the roads...I'm still waiting for my MSF course before I go on the streets. Right now parking lots and driveway are my friends...

NJs motor vehicle test have been on computer for at least 3 years now

same here in NC, but i havent taken a motor vehicle test in almost 10 years, except for license renewal which only requires an eye test...lol....
