I’m trying to find one for a friend who wants to start out riding. I know someone selling a 98 with like 17xxx miles for $1500. This seems to be a little high.
Do you guys know of anyone selling? I’ve been checking craigs list.
they should really look into a 600… theyll be bored in a week with a 250 … esp depending on their size
meh, thats pretty close to what they go for.
I concur.
you can always buy this for 1500… ride it for 2-3 months, get used to it… and sell it for what you paid for it soon after. 
not to mention be getting 60-80 mpg the entire time you’re learning
I would say search for a ninja 500.
I think he should get a 600 aswell. My first bike was a gsxr 600. I got it a year ago and I didn’t have a problem learning on it. I have over 16,000 miles riding, in one year since I got it.
I know, I know. I’m glad I got my 600, but I’m not sure it’s best for her. She’s a bad driver and not so sure about the 600. Besides she’s like 5"2’, 110 lbs.
So no one knows of anyone selling one then? Haha.
In that case, here is a couple if you didn’t see them.

there is an 07 on craigslist with 5k miles for 2k
Oh yah, I didn’t see that one, here is the link:
I rode a ninja 250 for a whole summer…great gas mileage…fun and easy to learn on
paid $2k sold for 2$k, it was an '05
I recommend it
if the bikeis a decent roadworthy machine 1500 bucks is not a issue. look close at the tires , fork seals, chain and sprockets, if its due for a valve adjustment etc…the usual stuff. verify its got no funky engine noises and shifts ok… 1500 bucks for a nice 250 …if its nice is ok. this holds true for its bro…the ex 500.
