Looking for your opinions on this 2011 Ninja. The miles are high for only having it a year, but I feel it is nothing to be concerned about. I have asked how many miles on the Pirellis, what maintenance was done at 12k, when did he buy if for warranty, and he says firm on price because he has reduced it once already. KBB says 2400 for trade in and 3400 for retail. What do you guys think? Any other questions? Thank you for your help! :cheers

I have a Kawasaki Ninja 250 for sale. It's the 2011 model in special edition white. There are 14,000 miles on the bike because it has been ridden almost everyday. A perfect first bike for any rider who wants to get started! I have kept this bike in nearly perfect condition. Never laid down, and it doesn't have any scratches bigger than a nickel. All maintenance has been done regularly. Warranty is still active. Email me with questions. If the ad is still up, I still have the bike. Start getting 60 MPG today!

Custom features on this bike include:
- Pirelli Diablo Rosso II dual compound track tires (The best tires out there for street riders who like to have fun on their bikes) - http://www.pirelli.com/tyre/ww/en/motorcycle/sheet/diablo_rosso_2.html
- Corbin Memory Foam leather seat - http://www.corbin.com/kawasaki/kn250r8f.shtml

It is for the woman (she is paying :laugh). That is what I felt, but I talked to my brother and he made me second guess myself. He is an ass. :laugh

DO IT!!!! I rode my friend's 09 a few times and had so much fun on the thing. :YEA

The only negative I can think of would be resale. Because it has higher miles you will have fewer people interested. That is if you think she will only keep it a short time.

Price seems about right, especially if it was as well taken care of as claimed.

My first bike was an 08 ninja 250 that had 27k on it and had been laid down at least twice. I got it on the cheap and put 9k miles on it and it never gave me a single problem. Great bike.

I also don't think you should worry about this. 250s are in high demand and the resale market seems huge. I fixed up some of the crash damage on mine for very little money and I sold it for $600 more than I got it for, even though it had almost 36k miles lmao

I think I'll make her keep it so I can track it. Thank you for your opinions everyone.

Loved racing mine this entire year....probably taught me more than the R6 every did lol. Nothing more fun than going full pinned on the entire track lol. If you do track it....get the bridgestone slicks the moto3 one I believe. 90 front and a 120 rear. It dips in so quick....make the R6 feel like riding a tank.

^Agreed.. it's crazy how light they are. Makes me really wonder what it must be like to ride the 125cc two-smoke track bikes.

The Ninja 250s give you that great riding position that's both comfortable and sporty/fun. You're significantly more upright on the bike than you are on your R6, and the bars are significantly higher as well. It's just so much fun on the street and feels so safe at the same time. I'd say go for it.
