I've spent the last few weeks looking for a starter bike and realized that people selling bikes are generally useless. I replied to about a dozen ads and only yesterday did I find someone who would actually respond. I was looking at 2015+ CBR300R/Ninja 300/R3 or other stuff up to ~500cc but the only ad I could get a reply from was a 2009 Ninja 250, so I picked it up this morning.

I need to do front pads/rotor and a rear tire, but I'm really looking forward to my 10 min commute on it because my Outback 3.6R is absolutely brutal on gas.

Dude, Ninja 250 is a great bike, and you can learn all the good riding techniques from looking ahead, to getting off the bike in a turn. It's like a Miata, slow bike fast, at home on the track and the street.

The 300's that are out now are really nice bikes. A buddy of mine picked up a CB300F, great bike.

My friend Brad was on a Kawasaki Versys 300, his bike was slower than mine, but never missed a step, and got waaaaay better gas mileage.

I was really hoping for a CBR300 or an R3, but most are a little more than double what I paid for the 250. I tried some of the lower priced ones but none of them replied. Whether they were shitty at replying or at deleting their ad when the bike sold, I don't know.

Pretty pumped to start driving it though, new rear tire, front pads, and an oil filter are en route now, hoping to have it registered and insured before the end of the week.

i didn't know you had a lezbaru. i would guess older bikes sell pretty cheap up there in your neck of the woods. i mean, your riding season is like 3 or 4 months, right? how is school going?

Yeah we swapped the mazda 3 out for a 2012 Outback 3.6R Premium back in like August last year. It's been solid so far, needs some suspension TLC from what seems like swaybar noises, and the 5EAT automatic shifts like garbage and generally leaves a lot to be desired.
It has 200k on it, but runs nicely/no leaks and has balls, AC, and typical newer car features, unlike the mazda. I'm kind of a fan of the powerplant, but it seems gimped by the auto. Has good space to haul shit or the dog in the back also.

Ninja 250R's seem to have reached some plateau where they've been ~2200+/- for a while now around here. Unlike cars up here, bikes don't seem to be rusted to dust because they live >2/3 of their life in a garage/shed. Riding season seems to be like mid may-early dec but it did rain for like 3 weeks straight up until last wednesday...

School is good, finished half my third year in mech, have a summer co-op job with DND so I can pay off some debt, then back to the second half of third year classes in the fall. 8 more months of co-op following that, finishing with 8 months of classes and I'm done, so 2 years to go.

Basically the only requirement I had when we looked for a place. Very hard in a city like LA, I make the most of my small 2-car space.

Joe G Where did you end up buying?

Thanks dudes.


Staying in Kansas City for now. The new house is about 1.5miles south west of my current house, which backs up to Troost (KC dividing line of hood vs. not hood). But that’s changing, considering my house appreciated 44% in 3.5yrs, hence my selling.

Anyway, here’s a pic of the new place. Big two car is around the back, on the left.




Also treated myself to this 1952 Omega bumper watch today. I need to stop buying things.
