I'm want a bike bad.might have to go with the 250 but for you handy guys,is this worth the risk?

 

hmmm. how old are you?

i love riding bike. even with recent accident and injury, i will still go back riding when i am all good to go.

you need to ask yourself that question.

if you say yes, then make sure you take class, get full gears before you get on the bike. the knowledge you obtain from the class and full gears will help protect you, although there are times when you really cannot avoid the accident

 

Get you a 600 for a starter. You will regret the 250 for sure....

 

I totally THOUGHT I added this link.
Here 01 ninja 250 runs
My original question is buying this bike worth the risk..not so much getting on a bike. I took the class last fall and loved it. I love the thought of riding, and hopped on my friends gsxr 750 and must i say it was nice. I don't want a 205 starting off, but from a budget point of view, i will do it keep it a year or 2 then sell for bigger size.Sorry to hear about your accident bud.

 

Welcome aboard!

The bike described in that ad does not sound like a good candidate for purchase...sounds like it has some serious problems. Save your money & purchase something that has been well taken care of & read to go mechanically.
