I can speak for the condition of the bike. I test rode it the fall before he bought it. It runs well, and Chevysoldier is particular about taking care of his stuff. He did quite a bit of maintenance work to it while he had it. The current owner (I know him as well) hasn't put many miles on it since he's had it, from what I can tell. These Ninja 250's get awesome fuel mileage, in the 60-70 MPG range, they handle well, have an upright seating position, a good all around beginner bike. I'm still riding mine, and the only real issue I have is that it's not very good for longer freeway rides especially on the interstate where traffic is running 75-80 mph, as the top speed isn't that much higher than that!
