I’m thinking about about getting a motorcycle. After doing some research I decided to get a Ninja 250. Well, now I’m trying to decide if I want to get one new or used. Used would definately be more economical for me.
There is someone selling a used 250 close by. It’s a 1994 and supposedly runs well. He wants 1200 for it, but that kind of seems high for a bike that old. Is it a bad idea to buy a 14 year old bike to begin with? Should I try to get something in the 2000+ range? I don’t know how many miles are on it, but I assume there are quite alot and he says it’s been laid down once.
Thanks for any advice!
