Staying with the theme...
Just added a Ninja 250 to the stable as well! Actually it's my 16 y/o son's (he paid for it), but I
may get to ride it now and then.
2004, 257 miles (!), cracked turn signal, not running - dead battery and plugged carbs. Guy bought it for his former girl friend. She must have dropped it in the driveway (about 2006 or so) and decided riding wasn't for her. Its been sitting since. Got it for $750.
We weren't completely ready to take it home, but we managed to get it in the van (removed the windscreen and mirrors). It was a little tight with the seats in, but it wasn't far from home.
We pulled the carbs, cleaned the jets, jumped the battery, and it fired right up.
He washed, waxed, and changed the oil this weekend, plus made a few small changes. He's got plenty of other plans and time to accomplish them, as he doesn't have his cycle license yet. He also needs to get full gear, insurance, MSF training, and my approval before he can ride it.
Looks almost new now!
