How used is too used?
Hi guys!
I'm looking to buy a used DR650 or KLR650 for my 2 month trip to, through and all around Mexico from the States and need a little help to boost my confidence before making my purchase.
When is a bike too used and how can I tell? What are the red flags? Things I might miss in a parking lot inspection?
How many miles is too many miles? I see bikes varying from close to new (under 1,000 miles) and others that have been around the block (40,000 miles). Can a well maintained bike run the same after that long? Can a good mechanic help optimize an old machine?
Thanks for helping this rookie out!
