Need Help! Frustrated because i cant find a bike in my budget

Why is that unreal? The wife pays $37 a month for hers and this is her first year with an M2 and she's under 30.

As for the OP trust me screw the used 250 market and walk into a dealer and buy one new. You can finance it inexpensive and it's open so pay it off early and it won't cost you that much extra. The wife just purchased a 2011 SE brand new for less then people were asking for a used one.

I can understand that rate, in Barrie, if you have your car and on Plan A with SF.

But in Scarborough? M1? Unless every single piece of insurance is with StateFarm, hard to believe. And that means the Cat's insured too.
 
I love the cbr250 except for all this drama: http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforu...gine-shuts-off-randomly-when-clutch-pulled-in,

It's not a dealbreaker though, it's just a known glitch. If it really manifests a problem I'll take it back to the dealer and make them fix it or take it back. The thing with any vehicle is there are known issues that happen to a small percentage of people, who become extremely vocal about it. The company always has to manage that.

I mainly went with Honda because of fuel injection and looks... I'm not going to say don't get a Ninja. I considered it myself.

250 is really to begin with, will likely move up after an year. Hopefully i will be able to afford the insurance for it then as well :). So what do you say about CBR 250? I would rather ask you then some biased people who are trying to diss it for a Kawi 250.

The guy I quoted has the same location as us though:dontknow:
 
im looking for a 250 for a friend.

have seen a ton out there for under 3400. not sure what or where you are looking.

ontario.kijiji.ca (not toronto.kijiji.ca) helps.

safety is $50. so dont even factor that.

taxes, you can write 500$ on the receipt or UVIP and pay $56 bucks tax at the MTO.

now you have 3300 to spend on the bike.

AC mentioned he had one, i pm'd him as i have cash in hand too. no reply.

but kijiji has a boat load of 250rs.

The cbr125 had huge amount of complaints of a false neutral between 5 th and 6th. The bike would slip out of gear. The solution was likely to shift firmly.

Sorry to bother you guys again. I am getting frustrated about buying a bike, have been online for 12+ hours every day for the last week and half. Almost had a sale before this guy arrived 5 minutes before me and bought the bike and put it up for 1000+ the price he bought it for(3200$) 2 day later..... ARRRGGHH!!. I am just looking for a decent Kawasaki 250(fourth Gen after 2007). Have no priority for color. I can spend 3400$ for it and pay for certification. Keeping 500$ for Registration, Plating and taxes etc. Have 200$ for gear(Helmet), have a Jacket and shoes. If anyone of you guys know someone who is looking to sell a Kawi 250 which is in good condition and does not have broken fairings please let me know Or advise me on what should i do. I have a nice insurance quote from SF 51$/ month, Wife is backing me on this(i know strange) when everyone else is against it. Things are almost perfect except for the bike. HEELLPP!!!

It used to happen to be between 2nd and 3rd when I first got the bike but after re-adjusting the chain cause it was loose, I found that the notches on the bike were completely misaligned probably from the previous owner. After I fixed that up, plus chain tension, it hasn't happened to me since. (2 weeks)

The guy agreed to give it to me for 2800$. Now the only issue is picking it up, any ideas?

Also he told me"It has a damaged break lever and some very minor scratches the person that had it before me dropped it but I had no problem getting a safety and I've never had one problem with the bike" also he assured there are no cracks on the fairings, only minor scratches.
