lol hey the new bike isn't even here yet but it'll be the kawi on this trip. And I'll be watching my drinks when its out around town so don't get any ideas haha Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Just realized you sold it lol, you may have gotten less than Spring but you'll get a good deal on a 600 while there's snow on the ground. Tigerpaw, I agree, there's a good market for Ninja 250s, especially early in the season. They are the perfect bike to start on and don't really have any competition in the class.

My first bike was a 2009 Ninja that I bought in 2010. It had 3,000 miles on it, like-new condition, and I bought it in early April right before the riding season for $2950 which was a great buy. I sold it 2 years later for $2750 with 10,000 miles and some light scratches The key to it is when you sell and how much you need the money now (maybe you have a sick deal on a 600 lined up?). When I first listed mine, it was still cold out and it barely got any interest. I was beginning to think that I'd be lucky to get $2500 out of it but held on. 3 weeks later on the first nice weather weekend of the year I had 10 people ask about it and it was sold within a few days for $2750. You will have no problem whatsoever getting $3k in the Spring, and $3300-$3500 is more likely. Bike prices fluctuate probably 10-20% depending on the time of year, and especially on a Ninja 250, which is a popular bike to learn on and always has interested buyers every time a new season starts. What this also means though, is that you'll be spending more on a 600 if you wait to buy it in the Spring compared to deals you can find right now. If you can afford having both bikes for a couple of months, I'd buy the 600 and sell the Ninja 250 in April/May. If not, consider selling it now for a few hundred less if you find a good deal on what you're looking for.

I'm all about riding down, bikes are made to ride, not sit on the back of a trailer can't wait and will be a hell of a trip!

Thanks :motorcycle:

Thanks

Thanks, yup, that was me on the ZZR

Thanks, yeah man I think me you and Shadow rode some Hocking twisties after

Thanks, I'll see you there!

That's good to know but when a ride around town turns into a spontaneous Put-In-Bay trip, and you barely make the last ferry out, you kind of have to wing it haha. It was a good time up there and I'd be down for a planned trip this year.

Thanks, nice bike man, think I saw it on the Dream Ride

Thanks

Golf carts make great places to sleep too if the house thing falls through.. Just ask those guys we met last time when we went up without a plan or place to stay. Right Brandon? definitely need to go back up there this season haha

Thanks
