1987 Honda XL 600 R

I have narrowed my choices to the following options (mostly based on location, budget):

1987 Honda XL 600 R

1990 Honda XLR 250 (Baja)

Both bikes are in good shape for their age and around the same price (surprisingly).

I will be using the bike for getting around town. About two 250km trips / month. And an average of two 3,000km + trips around East Africa / year.

Again, obviously feedback is subjective. But. I would love to hear some opinions, thoughts, advice, insight, etc.

Thanks. Cheers.
