I have been trying to find a pink small bike for my wife. This would be perfect and they are relatively cheap...so keep me posted.

Love the bike. A 250 was one of my first bikes and I loved it. You could throw that thing around like a bicycle, and I was usually riding around at speeds well over my normal buell xb speeds.

How much did the paint, primer and clearcoat cost, if you don't mind me asking? I need to repaint the GS500 before I sell it this spring. I only need enough to do the tail, tank, and front fender, or possible just the tail and front fender if by any chance they have paint that is similar to the tank. I already have a compressor and a couple paint guns, I've just never used them so I wasn't sure how much the paint supplies went for.

Also, do you have your own pepsi machine?? That's pretty cool. Someday I want to get a real popcorn machine, although I'm sure if I did trips to Target and the movies wouldn't be as special haha.

I also enjoy the fact that her 250 looks bigger than your xb12 in that last picture.

My wife started on an 09 Ninja 250 as well! Hers is the "special edition" with he classic Kawasaki Green color with white and black accents. She has the Two Brothers Full Exhaust, Jet Kit, K&N, different front spocket for cruising with lower revs, and Neon Green Leds. I like that hot bodies undertail on your wifes, that is clean. I just hacked the stock one on ours and cleaned it up that way, doesn't look too bad.

My wife started riding last year and within about 2 months she was riding my XB12Scg. So a couple weeks ago I found a nice 1125cr and bought that, now we can both ride Buells! Her little brother turns 16 in 2 weeks and he is gonna start on the Ninja, they are the best starter bike ever, and even fun for the experienced rider as well.

her she is on the Ninja:

I will post some pics when the weather breaks of her on the XB12Scg. I absolutely love that she rides a Buell. She gets some funny looks when she is riding, with or without me. If I saw 1 5'3" 120lb chick rockin a Lightning with Jardine Exhaust, Fender Eliminator, different turn signals, EBR ECM, and Red LEDs in the airbox, I would double look too!

Thanks for the compliments. We have about 250-300 in all the materials (had to repair right fairing) and my friend did the paintwork for 250. So around 500. Gotta install her led lights soon. Pink also lol.

Animosity, were always putting rides together on stlryderz.com. did you find a bike?
