i paid $2998 for it. owner not negotiable on price, but it was the best deal on a bike up here. i almost paid $3000 for a used 2007 Ninja 250 (save $ on tax basically)

i'm impressed with how it fits and looks, i thought that since it was old it was going to be "old"...but its not, its very similiar to a new one.

went to the shop and day dreamed on some ZX-6r's, gsxr 600, and my fav the 07 cbr 600rr... i also sat on a ZX-14 and a Busa, i couldn't believe how BIG those things are, I had never sat on one of them before.

hey i saw an ad on craigslist today that looks identical to the pix you posted up about the bike you bought. also has same milage and selling for 2998, which is what really caught my attention not to mention the balck and burgandy is so rare. so im curious why are you selling your new bike so soon?

Edit: is this your ad or am i mistaken [:@]? http://sacramento.craigslist.org/mcy/334265277.html
