I just put down a deposit yesterday on a 250.

I was talking to the manager and he said alot of dealers are taking way more deposits then they are getting bikes. I would be careful you're not waiting around for a bike you're not going to get. One thing, dealers can't "order more". They were given an ...

KBB vs. NADA

Why is there such a difference in the values shown by KBB and NADA? The same Triumph Bonneville is $4360 KBB and $2585 NADA :roll:

Thoughts on 2008 Ninja 250?

So, after literally a few years of working towards getting a bike, I think I have settled on the 2008 Ninja 250. I have read nothing but great things about it, but haven't seen it brought up here.

Anyone have any thoughts?

The ironic thing is that I was totally against getting a sport bike until I ...

Thanks-
I have always wanted a dual sport, but there are a glut of crusiers for sale around here and they are selling for much cheaper than the KLR/DR/F650s. Man those BMWs hold their value...

I can get both feet down, just can't flat foot. I figure that would be a good idea for my first bike.

Thanks- That's what I was thinking. I rode a dual sport at the MSF and it was really comfortable.

I just took it this past weekend. It was alot of fun and very informative. I went in without any experience, and came out some what confident of the BASICS. Now, you may need a great deal of patience, depending on how quick you pick it up. I have been seriously riding bicycles for my whole life, 37 ...
