I got a Motorcycle!!! 250 Ninja

[SlitherinSisters]

I'm looking into getting a Ninja...

Sweet ride!

They are a lot of fun! The 2008 and up look really nice, they finally changed the body style.

I'm set on getting a 500 as my first bike....

gotta get the LASIK done and paid for first. Can't wait to get my first bike too!! Congrats

Do you know what kind? 250 is plenty for me, at least for now

My first motorcycle was a ninja 250. It was a blast to ride. I had it for a couple years in highschool. I've had about 10 different bikes now and my current one is a 2008 Buell 1125r.
Congrats on your new bike. Keep the rubber side down.

Sweet!!! My dad's got a YZF 1000 that he keeps telling me to get on It's quite a bit bigger than my little 250 that I just learned to ride! Plus he's got the ghost flames on it.....imagine if I dumped his precious bike

those are fun to ride! my buddy had one that his parents would let him ride back in highschool, but they let me ride it all the time.
i miss my sportster but im think about getting a triumph

Oh yeah? The Triumphs are a neat looking bike!

Nice, I made my friend get a 250 so he wouldn't kill himself on it. I got him a killer deal on one too, it was a 2007 Ninja 250, with 3,915 miles on it, he paid $1,500.

I on the other hand have a Ninja 1200. It's a big bike too, very painful when I laid it down, but I should have it back soon(within the next 2 weeks) as it's getting painted & fixed and such.

If you have any questions about that bike just let me know, as i'm very familiar with them. Oh yea, love the pink on the helmet, lol. I would post my helmet pictures but i'm not sure if I would get in trouble or not, my helmet is customized after the umm hustler magazine.. If you google it. lol

No kidding! Lol, my mom is NOT happy that I have a bike! My dad keeps saying, she wears the gear, it's a small bike, and she's never wrecked a car, give her a chance!!!

Yikes!!! That's exactly why I wanted a small bike, because I'm sure I'll lay it down one of these days whether I'm riding it or walking it! I wanted a bike that I could pick up on my own, or at least in your case, get it off my leg

You like my pink helmet?! My dad got it for me, it's a Scorpion and it has pink and silver butterflies all over it

Rice is nice. You know you want a Harley. Oh well at least you're on two wheels.
Have fun and be careful.

Oh goodness no! My stipulation for buying a bike was I had to be able to pick it up myself! I wouldn't stand a chance with a Harley!

I had a Honda Rebel 250 back in highschool that I drove 45 minutes back and forth to work during the summer along with when it was warm during school. I would LOVE to have a Ducati 666s or a Harley V-Rod Night Rod Edition though!

Those are fun bikes! Lol, that night rod edition would be pretty sweet!

Congratz and enjoy it, make sure to put loud pipes on it, keeps other drivers aware of you on the road. vroom vroom.

Ninja 500R is what I have my eye on - but we'll see what comes up on Craigslist. I want a used bike for my first bike...i am quite sure I will lay it down and have some st00pid moments on it - so used is probably my best bet!

Everyone I've talked to says the 250 IS a great great bike to start on - but after 2-3 months, you begin to feel like it's just not enough. But, go with a 500 at the start and you will be happier for a lot longer.

Now, back to the topic at hand..

Awesome bike!

BTW incase they didn't tell you, make sure you keep the chain lubed, and keep the oil changed, that is the most important thing about keeping a bike working great. Also bring your bike to the local shop and let them adjust the chain and check for tightness and all.

I will!!! I'm planing to put a two into one pipe on, a Muzzy, if you know pipes.

My dad is big into bikes, so he's helping me quite a bit. We actually had to take it apart last night and found that the ball bearing was bad. Apparently someone forgot to put a spacer on the back tire when the put it back together I should have it up and running again by Wednesday as long as the parts get here on time.

Cheapest place i've found to order oem parts is www.cyclepartsnation.com just put your year and stuff. That site should save you some money.
