I am new to the motorcycle community. I just finished my MSF course and now I am on the verge of buying 2005 Kawasaki Ninja 250. I was wondering th gentlemen who is selling it to me said he can’t find the title for the bike. He is selling it to me for $1000 so I felt as though I should jump on it. There are a few problems with the bike he said the Carb needs to be cleaned and fluids need to be changed also the brackets that hold the blinkers on are busted but the blinkers still work. I was wondering with the problems and lack of title should I still purchase the bike.

And it has a “few problems” ? Broken blinkers hu? That I am sure means it’s been dropped, carb work means $ and usually more than what you want to spend, fluids do need to be changed every other year. If you are asking I would say, stay away, or at least take someone with you, who it informed about bikes to look. Even then, the title thing makes me very nervous.

If there’s anything more important than my ego
around, I want it caught and shot now…June 19, 2008 at 3:29 pm #7518Doubler34ParticipantYeah I was a little weary myself. I was just approved on loan for 2008 Hyosung GT250 so I am going to go with the new bike I read all the reviews and know about the assembly problems but as i said earlier I cannot seem to find a Ninja 250 anywhere. So I got a good feel from the dealer and he assured me that he would fix any problems that arose with the bike plus I get free gas for a year and a $ 450 rebate because this is my first bike and I am a student so I really have not found anyother deals like that out there. Please feel free to comment and give your opinions on this bike.
