Anyone have a EX250 I can try?

[schleppy]

Having helped my friend refresh his Rebel 250, I've found that I enjoy putting around on a 250, and the allure of how cheap/easy they are to work on is strong. I've been thinking about picking up a used EX250 to put around on and use to train my girlfriend/friends how to ride, get em addicted you know? Oh, and use it as a track bike (for learning, not for being competitive).

Anyone out there have an EX250 I can throw a leg over for a few minutes? I just want to see how it feels and get an idea of what I may be getting into.

Thanks all!

I hear ya, I've been wanting a new ninja 250 for a while.

As much as I'd love to get an 08+, the allure of a $1000-1500 used one is stronger. Especially since I would like to use the bike to train friends+family.

Too bad you weren't closer, I've got an 01 with 9k miles I'd let you take for a spin. I'm probably going to be getting rid of it soon too.

You can ride my EX, I'll just pull one of the plug wires. Cool?

EX250? Nope, sorry. If you want to ride an EX500 and are willing to foot damage possibilities (I crashed it on the track a few weeks ago, it was $15. Paint doesn't count, that shit happens) you could take my race bike for a spin.

My first bike was an EX500, so I know what they feel like

SRT: you're only an hour from my mom's place in Sunapee, NH. Maybe I'll make the trek...

You've got PM Priv

Alex, you still have my front stand right?

[obsolete]

I got it right next to my rear stand. It'll stay in my garage till you pick it up or request delivery.

Sounds good, thanks man

No, thank you.

If you happen to be close enough at any point, you're welcome to give mine a spin. I do have halfway decent tires, brake pads, and suspension on it, though (upgrading those three items is quite worthwhile IMO).
