New Bike

#1 Unread post by Puyopop »

Got my first bike today.. Finally! Its an 88 ninja 250, needs some work but i got it for 500 bucks. It needs a valve adjustment, oil change, back tire, and its got damage to the fairing so i'm willing to put some time and money into it. But thanks to everyone for the advice i recieved from these forums :) and ill post some pic's later on maybe and an update once I get riding which won't be for awhile as i still need to get it insured.

500 backs for that - other guy got jacked. The mechanical stuff is what - 200 bucks or less (unless you got for a complete set of tires). Still Id check over everything just to make sure the guy didn't jack ya.

He's saying the guy basically gave it to you and that you got a great deal.

But check to make sure the bike is ok, and that he might have gotten a good deal from you, if there are suprises.

The questions remains: Who got jacked?

Ok i see what you're saying now. As far as i can see right now i believe i got a pretty good deal, he did originally want 700 for it. I'm brining it to get saftied today so we will see what it needs, i expect a fair ammount of work will be needed. It may need some new brake pads, it definetly needs that rear tire, it needs the valve adjustment and an oil change. and some minor stuff like the left turn signal isnt blinking on and off like i should.
