Recommendations for dealers to get Kawasaki Ninja 400

[Draider]

Hi guys so I am new to the forum because I have had trouble finding dealers to get the Kawasaki Ninja 400 from. Seems many do not have stock right now too. Any recommendations from anyone to get the Kawasaki Ninja 400? Should I get first hand or second hand? Also colours seem to be limited to KRT green, but I'm thinking of just buying the machine then order the red and black fairings separately and get it fitted at a shop myself (SG doesn't have the red and black model)

Just got my 2A license, did not have a 2B bike before this. Would appreciate any advice you can give. Thanks!!

first hand or 2nd hand depends on your personal preferences. ($$ in pocket)

Maybe can ask if they are able to get in that fairing that you wanted? 

 

Personally if I'm you, I would purchase 2nd hand (as new as possible as long the price is within my budget), then swap out the parts that I preferred.. 

This way, I would not waste a brand new fairing or feel painful when I'm changing any parts.. (since they are used anyway) hahaha.. 

Just my preferences..

are there any dedicated sites to find second hand ninja 400 other than Carousell? I want to research a few listings before deciding who to buy from

Another question. How would you know if a second hand seller is listing a fair price for the motorbike? Like what elements go into the deciding of the price and how do I know it is a fair market price or know when I should negotiate a little? Thanks

1) need to do research on what's the price of the COE + bike value on the year the bike was registered. (then divided by 10 years * the years remaining) +/- 1k

2) Upgrades parts not consider but depending on your nego skills with the seller if they are willing to throw in more freebies..

@Draider Look at the depreciation of bikes when you consider used bikes.

Total price / Number of years left = Depreciation per year

Most should be comparable unless high mileage, etc. Looks like you have your mind set on the Ninja 400, it's an awesome bike! Red ones are very rare though, to be honest don't think i've ever seen a red one in Singapore yet, mostly green!
