Congrats. Ride it like you stole it and keep the rpm above 8k that's where the fun starts ;)
 
Congrats! I just bought a 2010 ninja 250 for $3500 with 6700km on it. So yours was definitely a good price (assuming it's in good condition). I also couldn't wait to ride it so I got insurance with TD. Their policies start and end in February and they charge you 5% of premium during winter months and something like 20% for the summer months... so I ended up paying $67 in total for all of Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, and Feb. And now I got to ride my new to me motorcycle ;)
 
These bikes are a lot of fun and you get to keep your license!

ride safe
 
I rented a 250 just like that for a week before jumping in a new 6r. Excellent starters bike imo.

nice bike.. see you next season on the different meets and gatherings...
 
Damnnn $2700, I'd take that! Most ninja 250r 2008+ owners sell for $3000+
 
IIRC, I think the question of when to get insurance has been discussed, and it doesn't really make a difference (since you have to buy for 1 year).
if you get insurance now in the beginning of November...you're covered for 12 months till the end of next October.

so assuming in a 12 month period you can ride for 7 months, and you store it for 5 months (colder months)...
it shouldn't really matter when you start and get insurance... because you'll still get your 7 awesome months of riding.

so if you start your insurance in the beginning of April 2013 (beginning of riding season), your insurance is good up until end of March 2014 (also at the beginning of riding season)
hope that makes sense...I had questioned when to get insurance before, but figured 12 months is 12 months.

I guess in the grand scheme of things it might seem like a waste to start insurance in the off season, but I figure I'm going to renew anyways (I'm not riding for just 1 year)
so considering the above, I'm thinking it would be better to have your bike insured (with theft coverage) over the winter.

anyways, that's how I understand insurance coverage...if anyone has any other insight, please chime in.

congrats on the good deal and ride safe in the spring.
 
Hey man,

I agree with you; I recently got my first bike too, but next weekend it is supposed to be 10-18 degrees depending on where you live. If you have your gear, get out there! I know I plan to spend all next weekend riding as much as I can.
 
trust me its so hard not to ride because ill ride in the cold it dont bother me , just was a decision i made to wait until spring because i rather not do monthly payments on bike insurance as well as car insurance so im gonna try and save the full year payment between now and spring time so i can pay off the first year in 1 time shot,
