My girlfriend was able to get a 2003 blue ninja 250 for 1700. It has a small dent in the tank and a bit of rust on the exhaust pipe but not bad at all for the price.

Plenty of deals to be had on the ninja 250.

When I go to the dealership I'll try both out. And after thinking about financing the motorcycle for about 7 seconds I realized that I wont be able to do that for the big reason that I don't have a job. And once I decide which of the bikes is more comfortable or if both I'll just check out a couple of local bikes. If I end up not liking the Ninjas whats a good alternative bike? My brother told me I should get a Nighthawk because they are very reliable.

Any chance you can find a Ninja 500R for a slightly higher price? It seems that bike would be better and it's also street newbie friendly.

I got stuck with the cruiser version of that engine....

unless i can sell my computer I actually only have 1900 to buy a bike insurance and food for the rest of the year. I expect to sell my computer for $800 putting 2700 in my hands. If I figure paying half a year of insurance I'm left with 2425. And 200 for food I'm left with 2225 to spend on a bike. I've been scowering and there are not many Ninja 500Rs in my area. Ive seem the 250 and mid 90's bikes like CBRs and similar bikes. But atm I am really focusing on a 500R. If I cant find one what is an equivelant bike?

Start looking for a job...if you like bikes enough it'll be worth it, even if you don't feel like it.

ive already been looking for a job
