ok... cause if it was just the lip I can understand... but if it was bent side to side... I'd think that amount of force would also tweak the forks as well as possibly the frame...

but I don't know much when it comes to that... just a guess

Any idea how to check a frames straightness? Im guessing as long as it doesnt affect riding it will be okay. I had one of my friends come with me the first time and he said it looked fine. I want to be sure tho.

You can find much better deals than that with a Ninja 250.

Which have you considered other bikes? I got a 1994 Yamaha SecaII that had an Air Cooled 600cc I-4 with about 60hp. It was my 1st bike then become the 1st bike of two more people. Both of whom have wrecked it and the bike is still going strong. I paid $1500 for it with that being a little much. I've seen them for cheaper but at that time I had no choice but that bike since I couldn't get financed.

And even though it was a 600cc it wasn't that fast. For about an 1/8th or so it ran with a stock 350z(Non-Nismo) and then the 350z would walk away from it. Did great highway and got 70mpg highway and 50mpg if you ran hard everywhere you went. Here is video from my 1st month of riding(I know you love the gear)

Thanks for the imput but my mom is really not comfortable with me even getting a 250 right now but I want to start small so that maybe she will let me get something bigger in the near future with no problems. To tell the truth, if she wasnt so restrictive I would be trying to get an F4i or something if i could afford it.

Another option would be to start charging for blowjobs...

To convince my mom to let me get a bigger bike?

I'll let your mom blow me if you think it'll help.

Run run run from this bike. You don't want these problems.

upshift · 03-25-2008, 01:07 PM

Im going to go look at another one instead. Hopefully I will be able to get this one. Wish me luck!
