    Hi there Darren here from Wicklow been a long time lurker in the motorbike section and now am glad to say i have a bike:D

    This is my 1st bike really happy with it

    Only on the road in the last week, done my ibt with Mick Finlay (Smiler) last week couldnt recommend a better chap to do it with

    Hope to get to no a few of yas and maybe head off for a spin with yous very soon

    Anyway about the bike:cool: its a 08 ninja 250r in black, it has a few little extras on it such as a tail tidy, seat cowl , mini indicators , crash bungs , hel brake lines and heated grips

    The only thing i plan on getting is a slip on can to free her up a little bit and i got some white rim stickers that can be seen in the last photo

    Here is a few pictures of her as she stands at the moment
