Denise is putting her 250 Ninja up for sale:
2007 Kawasaki Ninja EX250-F, in excellent condition, 5214 miles (may go up some prior to sale), new tires (Pirelli's), runs great, very smooth and comfortable, excellent wind protection and ergos, liquid-cooled 250 parallel twin, 6-speed, 13,000 rpm redline (!!!), great gas mileage, quick, fast, will transport two people with ease, excellent brakes and suspension, 304-lb dry weight, fold-out bungee hooks in tail section, factory tool kit, last year of the -F series 250 Ninja, which ran for 20 years, 1988-2007.
The battery has been stored on a Battery Tender out of the bike, and the bike itself has spent its time with us next to my Harley in our air-conditioned shop. Everything works, no issues.
Located near Mount Airy, NC / Woodlawn, VA (northwest NC / southwest VA).
Asking $1599.00 (under book value), willing to deliver a reasonable distance.
It's a hoot, and surprisingly quick once it gets up on the step (near-zero pound-feet of torque until about six grand...). I've ridden it two-up with Denise before and it'll easily hold its own at anything less than go-directly-to-jail velocities - this motorcycle is a rolling lesson in "light is right."
Nice machine, über-unmolested and barely broke in - somebody snap it up before I put it back in storage for the winter (and raise the price next spring)!
Thank you for ending the sale. You had the temerity to offer it about 4 days after I bought a left over Yamaha YZF R3. I can now stop not liking you, LOL.
They are a nice group of machines; kind of a return to simpler times . . .
I'm pleased as well. She is among the finer riders I've had the pleasure to ride with. Her husband likely in the top 5. Well, until he pushed me off a bike at speed.
