Where can I buy after market parts for my 06 Kawasaki Ninja 250?

If you're planning to keep it 5 years or more, give serious thought to a new one, such a the Suzuki 650S. If you buy used, check it out as thoroughly as you can - if it has been beat up, don't buy it. Miles aren't much of an indicator, generally, but things do wear. Sometimes you can find one somebody just didn't have time to ride much - I got two pristine bikes that way, one with 4000 miles (Honda) and 1 with 7000 miles (Kawasaki). Both are great bikes.

2003 Harley Road King - do you check oil level with bike on the kick stand or straight up and down?

They consider 4,000 miles just broke in. Depends on owner,(young guy beatin it?)

What is the best way to learn motorcycle driving?Since there is no instructor with you?

Comparision of Bikes- Price, Performance, style, comfort n stuff.?

more miles probably means it was a well trusted machine. It may even been maintained if it is still running like new. Low miles on a used bike scares me.

If a pick up catches on fire with a motorcycle in the back of it, will the insurance cover the bike?

You've already got some good answers. We don't really go by miles anymore. It's more about eye appeal now. If the bike has a chain, check for rust or see if the teeth on the rear sprocket are leaning forward. This would be a fairly good indication that the owner was more about riding and less about maintenance. Ask for service records if any. Is the bike excessively dirty? (Does it look like the first time it's been cleaned is when it came up for sale?) There are signs to look for, look all over. Sales Manager
