Ninja 250 right? Very nice. Goodjob starting out the right way and not jumping on a 600cc supersport as a first bike.

$4,400 with the rear fender delete kit, Two Brothers Carbon Exhaust and some other goodies. MSRP is $3,500 but there isnt a shop in the US that will sell you one for that price. 2008's have been sold out for a LONG time, most of the 2009's are already bought and paid for....no lime green for 09 either.

Great looking bike man... looks a lot more expensive than it actually is. Be very careful out there.

I see...pricier than I thought, but still a great deal for a little commuter. Wouldn't have gone with the team green personally, although it looks good.

Very nice. I've been thinking about getting a Ninja 250 for next Summer to learn on but everyone I know that has a bike says to get a 600 and just be careful.

DO NOT listen to them, it would be unwise to learn to drive in a high performance sports car correct? Well, same for bikes, except worse. Be smart like Marble and start out with something more managable and forgiving. Ninja 250r, Ninja 650r, and Suzuki SV650 are all good choices among many others.

Indeed, that thing is fast enough to get you into issues real quick. Very happy with the bike so far.

my first car and the car I learned to drive in was my 68 camaro.. and I turned out ok!

.. but in all seriousness, it is much smarter to learn to ride on a less powerful bike. it's a bit different, lots more room for injury..

Bikes don't have enough storage space for an 18 pack though
