They are an old bike...... save up a few more bucks & get a new 250 :P
Seriously this bike is a grey import so parts are hard to come by & they may look fast but at the end of the day
not worth the big $$$ ;)

Looks can be decieving, & looks are not everything, you could do much better for the bucks.

yeh as rob said dont waste your time. highly inflated price for a 20 year old bike. for under 3k maybe but not over 5k. and reliability could be an issue with the age of it

Either of these suggestions are good. Also depending on where you are you may want to look at other lams bikes (if applicable)

Hiya spartan1,the bike is defintely overpriced for a very old model with old technology. take your time, do the research and you will find a younger and smarter looking ninja for those $$$

Would have to agree with the new ones looking hot! Ask Dizzi, we got so many people coming and checking our bikes out today :) With them being the most sold 250 at the moment, they are on the market a fair bit, so you can get a decent price for basically a brand spankin new bike. I got mine with only 1000km on the clock.
