jporter12 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Looks nice bubs, it's price thats holding you back. There's several around here for 1800-2200 with the same miles and such. Good luck though.The 08-up 250's seem to demand a lot more than the 07-down. Most of the changes were strictly cosmetic, and EPA related from what I've read.

SpeedTriple44444 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 sv650MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!I've ridden a 250 Ninja for 50 miles or so. It was fun, but WAY WAY WAY underpowered, as in can't hardly get out of it's own way. You have to rev the piss out of it all the time to get anywhere. SV's are plentiful and are a great all-around fun bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck though.You think so? Seems to be inline with the other similar bikes in my market. There are just so many bikes on CL. I posted it in the morning and by the evening it was on the second page already. It's a good time to buy it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are alot that are higher but we've looked at 4 so far from 1800-2200. Just not found a color she likes yet. Thats why I was asking because black or yellow is kinda what she wants.

scotty Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I like my 250r. For a new bike its a great price. Though it is not the fastest thing in the world, but will pick up speed well for its size. The bike handles great on corners. You can really push the bike far before if feels like it will fold on you. The motor is a little sluggish due to it being more of a gas saver. Easy fix with shimming, or jetting the carbs as i've done. Its a fun bike, and great for a gas saver and some fun around town and back roads.

If I don't sell mine, the jetting the carbs and a new pipe are due. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly recomend jetting or shimming the carbs! You will enjoy the bike so much more! Makes it easier the ride the bike and better pick up speed wise.

Then I can decide whether to sell or keep it and start to update it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Yup even 08's because everyone is unloading them for the winter. And I think you should sell for $1000, I'll be there to get it in the morning. We just looked at one last night for $2000 with 3800 mi but it was the Kawi green and she wanted nothing to do with that color otherwise we'd try'd to work her down to 1800 and brought it home.

scotty Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Thats not a bad price. Most new gen's 250 I see are tring to be sold for $3,000 and up. So I think $1800 isnt a bad price. Though it would also depend on the condition of the bike too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Buy my 650r; problem solved I would have her look at it but I'm sure you're over her 2000 budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
