It's a fair price particularly with the low miles.  Go for it.   waytogo

Makes you wonder why no one else seems to sell a small displacement sport bike.

My thoughts as well, My son sold his 07 for what he paid for it after riding it for a year (his first bike) 2400 is a good price. The only issue was that the carbs are a little touchy. The bike does not like to sit around

Funny u should mention the touchy carbs, just found out today..."I have to turn the choke up and let it idle because it won't run", my thought EXACTLY on carb adjustment, but, that shouldn't be a big deal, just spin a couple screws  Smiley

Duc, as the others have stated, that is a fair price and you can ride it for a year, get some experience, and sell it for close to what you paid for it. By the way, there is a sport riders group down by you (Springfield). Here is there forum site: http://www.swmosportbikes.com/forum/vbadvanced_home.php  Or you can chat with us mid Missouri riders at www.midmoriders.com

Take that 250 down to Hallet!

I'd do a valve adjustment before I started messing with the carbs.  Valves on the 250 go out of whack really easily and after not that many miles.  The adjustments/checks are really easy to do, but you have to stay on top of them or the bike will quickly start running like crap.  Check out ninja250.org.  The FAQs there are great.
