Buying Used KLR650 - which one?
I have found 3 local KLR650s and they are all about the same price and cosmetic/mechanical condition (good shape).
The main difference is the number of years and number of miles - I am not sure how to judge which of the 3 is the best deal.
Once I decide, I will pay $80 to have the bick inspected to see if there are any problems that my untrained eye can't see.
Which of these 3 sounds like the best deal?
1991, 19K miles
2nd owner, well maintained,
worn rear tire, bonus - Givi trunk,
$2250 (negotiable
2000 51K miles
orig owner, well maintained, 6m ext warranty,
$2000 (negotiable)
1999 28K
orig owner, well maintained
worn rear tire, bonus - used bags
$2000 (firm)
I was planning on getting some kind of affordable bags - so having something incluced is a bonus that I value.
This is my first bike, and I am interested in doing my own maintenance and basic service. (Need to get the manuals.)
Another factor, is that I am interested in using this bike to swap with others in foreign countries for touring (I live near San Francisco). I want it good enough that others would not mind riding it - but not so nice that I would afraid to loan it to someone.
Ready to buy - so your advice is appreciated.
