Hi guys, so I am buying a second Ninja 250r and I need advice on how to check that it hasn't been laid down and that the engine is in good condition or any other things I should look for. Any advice?

Where's the bike registered? If it was me I'd ask Kawasaki to check their records for service and repairs. Another good idea would be to take the bike to Kawasaki for a thorough inspection before completing the deal. Finally, take her for a test ride and wind her up to 170km/hr to check for any wobbles that would be indicative of a tweaked frame. Ride On!

cool, thanks for the advice.

To paraphrase what American motor journalist Tom McCahill said 60 years ago about Ferraris, "I wouldn't buy a used motorcycle even if Bill Gates was the headlight." But BigBikeBKK is right.
