What was it? 2009 Ninja 250
How long did you own it? 1.5 seasons, put 8000 km
What did you love about it? Reliable, cheap on gas, cheap insurance
What did you hate about it? Carbureted.. warm up times sucked. riding position wasn't aggressive at all
Why did you sell it? Written off
Did you drop/crash it? Totalled after somebody decided to do a u-turn back onto the freeway on ramp at an intersection. Cut me off but i was able to avoid a direct collision with a pickup truck, but inadvertently crashed into the center median
Any other interesting facts? Excellent bike.. I used to commute from north van to south van.. was wonderful in saving me gas money. Would have likely rode it for longer if it wasn't for the incident. Went to a 250 to a 600, now back to a 300cc. very nimble bikes, and if you can get over the riding position, its a lot of fun (ended up with rear sets and clip ons on my 300 now--super happy).
