Hi, I have been offered this bike for £510, It is a KLR650A2, I don't know much about them other than they have a good reputation for going RTW! Here are the details:


1988 E 35k miles, lots of history, scotoiler, Riki bash plate and braided hose to front brake. Owned by me for last 8+ yrs, excellent commuter and lane bike. Has been stood for a while after I moved house. It is not taxed or MOTed it will need a rear shock, Battery and rear brake master cylinder for MOT. Runs fine, very reliable - in my ownership it has had clutch, head bearings and wheel bearings replaced, fork seals were done recently - first time they need replacing. I changed the oil every 2500-3000 mls as a precaution - the bike returns 50mpg at a steady 80mph on the motorway. With work and DIY on the house I don't have the time to devote to getting it fixed up - let alone ride it afterwards. These are excellent bikes - I built one from spares about 18 months ago - the first person that saw it bought that as they are quite sought after. I have loads of paperwork, old MOTs etc

So, is it a good buy? I know it will need some money spending but is a KLR with 35k on the clock gonna be any use ever?!
Cheers!
