My local dealer tells me that the Ninja 250 out sells any other bike by about 2 to 1. Yet in the year that I’ve been riding, I’ve probably only seen 2 or 3 on the road, while I’ve seen more GXRs, SGVs, and CBRs than I can count.
Where are all of these 250s?

I think that dealers in my area only order like one or two 250’s and that’s it and all the rest of the 250’s must be in California. Don’t quote me, I’m only guessing.

I see a few ancient Rebels and GZ250’s on Craigslist though. Some not even running… Not only would you need to learn to ride on one, but you’d need to learn how to fix it, lol.
