Yep,

I forgot I even put money down on this damn thing its been that long of a back order. I just received my 08 Ninja 250R. I am riding it for the time being, but will now need to sell this thing also. "not yet" but is anyone interested? – first two tanks were 56MPG. Im told 60+ is not uncommon.

It is of course Kawi Green.

Damn...If I didn't still owe so much on the focus, I'd buy it in a minute. $22 per month to insure this thing with a 19 year old male driver...not bad at all.

That is not bad, my Ins payment is 94. A year. I can handle less then 8 bucks a month. This is a fun bike. I actually like it better then my GSXR750, but only becuase it is ten years newer, and handles a ton better, sure is a nimble little thing. Untill winter it is saving me 245 dollars a month by not having to drive my 1-ton to work.

We'll they soaked me 4590. The bastards know that this is a wanted bike. Can you wait until the snow flys? I am really not thinking of selling it until nov, dec.

I'm interested, and could wait for the snow to fly for the price to drop. I'm 70% sure I could scoop it up from you pretty easy for the right price.

I would think it would be an extremly easy bike to learn on light and not over powered. I would buy one but I afraid that I would "outgrow" it in a year or 2.

I have been eyeing up one of these all Summer but I have another toy takeing all the "Fun" Funds

I had a GSXR-750. It was just to tall for me. This is a great beginners bike, and it goes plenty fast to die on. 110mph is fast when you are that close to the ground.. :D Anyway, I am looking at the 1190 KTM in Thailand wow it is sexy. But it is 33K. I started thinking of importing this, but they are going to start selling them there, They are considered a "big bike" in Asia. All I can say is I cant wait until I can go over 5000RPM's I just hit the first oil service. After this I can go 9k. Then at 1000, one more oil change, and I can open it up. Yes I am that fussy about breaking in a new engine. And it sucks to only go 45mph, for 600 miles.

For Zurno, no these Ninja 250's are perfect bikes for begginer bikes. along with something like a Honda Rebel 250, which I happen to have... 2007, black, it's a cruiser. I'd like 3500 if anyone is interested in that. 2000 miles on it.
