The Ninja 250 was a carb bike, the Honda 250 was EFI.

The ninja 250 can be very finicky starting after sitting due to the carbs. Still a great bike but be aware. Honda has less power and is not as smooth. Ninja 300 is the best of both worlds.

Check to see the insurance premium difference. If it isn't very much, then don't bother with a 125. A 300 can do highway speeds without a problem, a 125 will require planning to pass a dump truck.
Maybe I missed it but is there a specific reason you are only looking at 125's? Can't imagine it is a massive difference in insurance cost and you get a much more versatile bike.
Looks like you can get a 250R in the $2000 range

The mississauga bike says needs tires and brakes to pass saftey, and he will include them for a "higher price"
How much should tires / brakes cost ?

I sold my 2009 (newer generation) in 2012 for $2100. Clearly I'm not up on the current beginner bike market. I wouldn't have payed $2500 for that bike 10 years ago.

Hate to see it go, but I’m selling it because I got a new bike. 12752km Stock motorcycle. Great mechanical condition. Serviced at GP Bikes Whitby, the past two years in a row. Just had an oil and oil filter change April 28th of this year. Chain cleaned and lubed every 200-500km. I have the...

Heh, last message from him, he was in no hurray
Today I see he's dropped the price to $2700 from the original $3500 (?? or was it $3000? i should have wrote it down)
... pretty sure it was $3500
Toss out an offer and leave it open.
'Here's my price, I'll keep looking but my offer will be valid for X days'.
It's what I did with my most recently Scrambler. Thanks to @Mad Mike for that recommendation. Seller originally balked at it, but then changed her tune within an hour.
Heh, good idea
I just sent "When you decide you'll take $2,000 I'm ready to buy"

Cheeze Luise !!
No one is responding to my messsages !
I'm telling them all I'll pay theyre asking prices, when can we meet, no repsonses.
Most of them on kijiji, a couple on auto trader.
Oh well I don't even have my M1 yet
(Doing that this week)
The "moto god(s)" know I don't have an M1 yet, so they are waiting for me
before the seller responses start arriving :lol

Abs, not mutilated, pretty cheap, I agree. As with almost all of these, plan on tires and feel lucky if you don't need them.Here, buy this...

A beginners bike is a beginners bike. I made more mistakes in the first couple of seasons than the rest of my riding experience. It will likely pick up scratches while you own it. I used a side stand on a hot day on a newish asphalt and the bike tipped over with no one with 10 metres of it. I dropped it coming up to a stop sign where there was sand.
If all you need is something to commute around town you will likely be satisfied with a 125, I speak from experience. I commuted to school for years on a 1971 CB100.
If you want to travel a little you will likely want something that can run 100+ KMH without strain and possibly with luggage of some sort. Once you have some experience you may want to take a passenger when you travel. It will need enough power to keep up on the highway That is a consideration for your next bike.

For a used bike a valid/current safety is an absolute must.
Not necessarily. A safety (especially obtained by a seller) does not mean it is safe or ready to ride. When you are looking at cheap bikes with limited mechanical knowledge, I'd want to get my trusted mechanic to look it over to make sure it is safe and functions well. As a seller, there is no way I would get a pre-emptive safety as there is a good chance it expires before transfer. I may consider getting a safety after a deal is made but again, at low dollar bikes, I am less inclined to run around. Buyer can get the cheap bike and deal with it themselves.
