Title: Kawasaki KLR 650
Post by: Ynot0323 on July 10, 2006, 04:46:31 PM
What do you all think of a Kawasaki KLR 650 for $2500

Right around 14,000 miles, blue in color, mint condition..

it is a 2006

Does this seem like a fair deal ?!?!

THANKS,
Tony

That's a very good deal!  Book value is $4000.  I would jump on it as long as it is legit.

it is from a local dealer, i just went in today and spoke to him about it, and he should be getting the bike back in his possession tomorrow.. it was a return from a customer who fell of a roof and broke damn near every bone in his body, and WONT be able to ride it..

A little 80 two stroke bike from '06 is worth that much.  For $2500 you almost can't go wrong as long as the bike is alright.

Is this one of those dual sport kind of bikes?
Klr sounds like one to me.

Yes this is a dual sport..

a few guys i talked to from work told me that is an awful lot of miles for an 06.. 14,000 in bout 8 months..

one told me i could prob get a used Cruising bike from Cycle Trader for around $1500 or so..

I am going to go by and check out the Dual Sport tomorrow, it may be worth it..

the same guy told me the only problem with getting a jap bike is resale value, the ONLY bikes that hold there value are Harley's and some BMW's

I am going to take my digital camera with me today, and take some pictures of the bike and get some other info from it, and will post it up on here..

I want this for a starter bike for say, until i can handle a larger cruising or touring bike.. The weight isnt much, and even if i lay it out, i wont really care THAT much..

Well you probably getting a good deal. Considering that its a japanese bike it is and will be a very solid and reliable bike for a long time. Im no motorcycle guy but I know bikes and quads have their roots together. The resale value wont be a whole lot because your getting it for 2500 dollars. The BMW's and Harleys are like 20,000 dollars. I guess you get what you paid for. Anyway I would get it unless its been wrecked or theres sea weed hanging off the handlebars and theres a live fish under the seat.
