I almost bought this bike.

[Crixus]

2018 Kawasaki KLR 650. This was a really nice bike. Super clean, real nice tires, 50,000 + miles and had all the bolt on stuff I wanted to, but they want $4,000 firm and that's not what I'm looking to pay. It's on consignment, so if it sits awhile I may try again.

It looks clunky, bit they actually ride nice for me, and it would handle my fishing trips better to. The Harley doesn't like it much on the dirt and mud.

50,000 miles on a 2 year old enduro??? Someone likes to ride.

 

[Sunni Man]

That sure is a lot of miles for a motorcycle.
I suggest you try and find one with lower miles.
Even if you have to pay a little more. ...

 

[TNHarley]

Its really not a bad price. 50k can be a lot of miles if it wasnt taken care of. Then again, even if taken care you could be looking at a rebuild soon.
I wouldnt get it bro.

Yup. Prior owner is a truck driver so he would load it up and use it to get around. Dude drove the HELL out of it, but also kept it up real well. Thing runs like a top. I just don't want to lay 4000 for a bike I know will be used in gross places. Forgot to say, the guy also replaced the long oil drain plug with one of the ones dirt bike guys and gals use. The last one I was looking at was blue, 30 plus thousand miles and was $2,300. I missed it by a Payday.

I may. I missed one already. If I buy that it has to come out of my road king money and I want that more. I probed the possibility of " borrowing " some bucks out of the house money but mama started stroking the Glock so I gave up on that idea.

Miles on a motercycle can throw one off. Allot of bikers have tons of miles on their bikes. I saw one at a dealer that had ninety thousand plus on it. It's all in the upkeep.

One of my dad's friends has a road king with 140k plus miles. And that was last year..
Thing rode like a top. He also works for a local HD dealer so im sure its in tip top shape

Had a buddy with one of em.
He really liked it.
Do you plan on offroading it a lot?
His biggest complaint was the weight at 390 lbs dry,it's pretty hefty for anything beyond fire roads and easy trails.

Limited off road. You know where Winnie Texas is? I10 east to Lay on the right. I lived in Hankemer on the right. All my fishing spots along the Trinity aren't cruiser friendly. So 8 need a bike that can do some highway then some mud and dirt. And as far as dual sports go. The 300 plus pounds is more easy to wrestle then my Harley's 700 plus pounds. My Son is looking at it today. He doesn't like his sportster, and he just wants it to putt around town. So I may still have my shot at the bike when I need it. They also has a low miles Triumph tiger. Now that is a sexy bike. If I ever won the lotto, I would buy one for me and mama. If you are ever bored, go test drive one. Really nice bike.

Hell, if you know anyone with a Gold Wing go head and check out it's odometer. Those things are typically up into the gajillions. Cruiser guys lay down serious miles. Bikes will run for ever baring a good crash or bad maintenance.

Picked up a Boxer pup in Winnie and my FNX .45 Tactical.
While it'll be easier than a 700 lb bike ya gotta remember the weight is much higher than on a street bike.
I'm looking at the Yamaha WR250r. Like you I just want it to putt around on and hit a few trails now and then.
It weighs 100 lbs less than the KLR and no valve adjustments for 15k.
70 mpg as well.

The WR250r is also reasonably priced at $5700 brand new.
I'd imagine you could get a used one pretty cheap.

The FN was a private purchase.
Cant remember his name but he drove a big red Cadillac.
