(Can you find them? They're on the right side of the bike!) I bought it on eBay, and the cool thing is, it's only in the next town over, which is 15 minutes away. I'm gonna go pick it up wednesday. But I'm gonna trailer it home, and I'm not planning on riding it until after my MSF course this weekend. I'm kinda scared about getting on it for the first time. I've heard how sensitive the throttle and brakes are. Oh well, live and learn! I have more pics if you guys want them!

It looks like the guy you bought the bike from put some kind of tire shine on the tires. The manufactures of that stuff say to not use it on motorcycle tires. It looks nice, but it makes the tires slippery, not a good thing on a motorcycle. Be very carful riding it till you wear that stuff off.

Yea I bought the 250 last fall sometime. I'll probably sell it in a few months. Sweet rides? I only have a mustang and a Gixxer! lol

I'm gonna try and get that crap off before I ride it. I'm trailering it to my dad's shop tomorrow morning, where I will install my frame sliders and tank protector I just bought. Then I'll wash it, and get that junk off. Then it's getting trailered home until after my MSF course.
