this is my ole hyo....bought as a repairable write off in 2011 for $2700...spent $500 on the repairs turned on the ignition and it had 178 klm on the clock. spent another $400 on a ninja 250 stator and a mosfet reg rec and she has been a very reliable bike . 2008 models suffered from a too short a ex valve guide and the stems snapped these 2010 models suffer from crappy stators and reg rec , once replaced they are a reliable bike
