Hey man, don’t make fun of his “race fairings”

Selling your used Ninja 300 at $200 over retail price of a brand new one from any dealership…:rofl

i laugh sooo fucking hard when people say “asking this price but wont go lower then this price” lol… what the fuck is your reasoning for putting a higher price when you just wrote a lower price that you would take lol

5

lol

price is 5300 if your an idiot, because i will take 5000, in which case you’d still be an idiot because a new one is 4800 on the sticker at TCG.

6

in fairness TCG does add like $500 to every bike they sell as a “fee”

7

You mean the freight and prep fee? That is around $360.

Is there any dealer that doesn’t charge freight?

8

i didn’t get charged freight or prep on my daytona

You got it at Spitzie right? Is that a general Spitzie thing? or they just didn’t charge you cause it is not a current model?

If Spitze don’t charge any freight/prep fee on current or new but older model, it would be nice to know and would be an incentive to buy from them.

i bought my bike brand new as a current model and i never got charged any fees for freight or prep. idk if that was just me because of our deal or if that is their thing

FYI, I think he just found the internet and found out that he is selling it higher than dealer retail, cause he dropped it to $4500…

12

Yeah I think my Ninja 300 was around $5300 out the door with taxes and fees.

Now that he’s asking $4,500 … that really ain’t too bad for a basically brand new 300. His $5k was ridiculous

13

Is the 300 identical to the 250 (besides engine)?

14

I didn’t pay freight on my Shadow. I got it way below MSRP too

15

Far from identical. 300 is a new bike (new fairing, new chassis, etc), but with a bigger FI 250 engine. The 300 also have a slipper clutch.

In NA the 300 replaces the carb 250 (300 is FI and at least in NA, the 250 is a carb bike). I think in EU the 300 replaces the FI 250. In Japan the 300 and FI 250 are sold at the same time.

Yes, it is rather confusing…

My bro got a 300 recently.

Was at Phibbs today, a $4799 stand color Ninja 300 OTD price would be around $5500! That is with $300 freight & prep, tax, DMV.
