I have a shot at a 2011 KLR650 that a good friend crashed for not much money, I am thinking less than 1,200.
To be original it needs a front fairing, side fairings, one crash bar, headlight, cluster, turn signals and a carb rebuild.
I was thinking it may be a decent and cheap ride with just a headlight and turn signals and use it for commuting and keep some mileage off my Ninja 1000.
I have no experience with dual sports, only moto-x bikes from 50 years ago.
What do ya'll think?
No need to buy a crashed bike IMO. Buy something cherry.
I went to look at it today, he still has all the plastic although it's all cracked but I could stitch back together with zip ties pretty easy.
When he told me what he wants for it just to get it out of his garage I would be stupid not to trailer it home and put it together. Hell, even if never saw pavement again it would be worth four times what I will pay for the bike, accessories and some armor to go with it.
Ok. My KLR250 was valued at IIRC $230 after totaling. New bars, a brake lever, a mirror bracket, twist the forks, and good to go. Traded it for an SUV that I sold for $3600. But, most chit doesn't work out so well. LOL
