Not That easy.
XR's are avery good bike's but there are a few things that can go wrong.
On a older bike I would want a detailed service sheet from the owner.
You need to know if they have at least once a year striped the rear linkage and re-greased the bearings,if they have not done this it can be hell trying to strip the linkage as the pivot bolt seize in place.
XR400's also suffer from quick ware on head stock bearing's due to the oil cooler being placed infront of the bottom head bearing.
again if they are stripped and re-packed with high melting point grease they will last .
High milage one's can use a bit of oil if they have had a hard life.
Remember..what sometime look's like a cheap bike can cost more than a few year's newer model if it needs a lot doing to it.
I see that the frame guards look new,check behind then to see if the paint is worn off the frame, because I notice that the rider's boot as worn off the paint from the engine cover and the honda logo from seat
If you can take some one with you that know's what to look for,it could save you a lot of money.
all the best Dazzer
