Default What questions do I ask when buying a bike?? (I read the beginner posts.)

I was wondering what questions am I supposed to ask when purchasing a bike?? I read the beginner forum at the top of the main page, but U was still curious about some stuff. I am aware of asking if the bike has been layed down or not. Is there any maintenance that should be done before purchasing?? I am new to motorcycles and I am thinking about purchasing a ninja 250r for my starter bike. What is the price range for one of these used?? I appreciate all comments and questions. Thank you

I think there are a few Ninja 250s for sale on H-T. Check the motorcycle clasifieds.

Edit - this one's in MD, but it's a great example of the bike and should give you a good idea on what to pay for a nicely maintained one.

That link kicks ***. I remember reading that page when I bought my bike 2 years ago.
