Hey guys! My wife and I can ride together now! She's taking the MSF course in 2 weeks and she's real excited about learning to ride. We got her a brand spankin new 2009 kawasaki ninja 250r. It may be slow but she's never ridden before so i think a 250 is perfect for her. She's really tiny and i think she'll do well with it. Here is a pic... i'm sorry it was taken tonight from my cell phone... but you can still make it out!.




Here's my bike as well...

 

NICE! those 250's look good imo, perfect for well wife's

 

oh ya, goes without saying but get rid of that god awful fender ouch! lol

 

I KNOW! that's what i told her...first thing to go is that stupid rear fender... (hope that's what you're talkin about). I walked passed it twice and my leg ran into it both times! man it's annoying... but overall the bike is awesome runs smooth and has a little pep...though i'm still breaking her in so i won't know it's full potential yet

 

Yep, all new bikes have it, some worse than others lol, have fun and be safe

 

Looks great.

 

your wifes going to be learning with that one really easy and also they save so much gas they get up to 80 mpg which is really good. what was the price you got it for?

 

The price was $4000 then u have to pay taxes and dealer fees and all 2 with an interest rate of 6.99 percent fixed. Then i bought the awesome warranty with it... first 6 services are completely free also has free tire replacement in case of a flat.For everything i pay $59 a month and insurance only cost 19 dollars a month for full coverage!!

 

That's a great deal and a good ride. I think it is especially a good bike for a new rider. I thought about taking that road and going with a Ninja 250 for my first bike right after I finished the MSF course a couple months back, but instead took a chance on the 04 F4I that I have now.

Good riding and have fun. Hope you and your wife will enjoy riding together!

 

in class ihad to change a clutch on an 08 250r with 6500 miles on it
i hope yours isn't as bad as that bike
