I am looking to buy a new bike and have chosen a ninja 250 however I now have a further choice with regards to the model....either a J8F or a J9F model. I canb't find the difference on the web between these two models apart from the fact that once is the 2008 model and the other is the 2009.

Anyone have any thoughts about this?

I don't think there is any difference at all apart from the price. I just sold my 2008 model. Great bike. I bought it new for $7500, I think the 2009 models are now $7900.

What'd you get for it? I thought about buying new but wasn't sure I wouldn't lose a heap of money on it. :Pokey:

No difference at all, just a colour choice.

Good choice in bike btw, look forward to seeing you out on a ride sometime soon!

Great, thanks for your feedback. I have just ordered a green one from Red Baron today. Looking forward to getting it in the next day or so and joining some of you guys on a ride somewhere.

Took a bit of a hit - $6250 with only 1200km on the clock
