Used 07 Honda XR650L Dual Sport worth 4 grand?
I found a used dual XR650L Dual Sport bike for 3999. It's from a dealer so I trust the dealer more that it isn't all messed up than if I would buy it from a random dude on the street.
Air-cooled, dry-sump, 1-cylinder, 4-stroke, SOHC, 4-valve RFVC, 12,146 mi., 324 lbs
Lowered with ball bearing. Slip-on pipe. Uni air mod filter. 4.7 gas tank. Current registration. Clean title.
Worth 4 grand? I'm going to try and go in and buy it with cash on the spot, so should there be some wiggle room to get a better deal?
(first time buyer by the way. Looking to ride mostly on asphalt for work for 30 minutes a day, and in the mountainside dirt trails every week or so. Will use the freeway every once in awhile. Looking for best deal, bike is going to be my starter.)
Nope
Thats way too much. If it was a '12 with a few hundred miles on it… Maybe.
- Will the honda xr650l be too tall for me? I'm really interesting in the xr650l dualsport but i'm 5'8" without any kind of boots with a 30-31" inseam. I know the seat height for this bike is 37. Would it be too tall to the point it would be unsafe for me to ride?
- Which dual sport should I get? I'm looking at getting a dual sport bike so I can drive on and off road (my friend and I hit the trails a lot but I want something for the city too). I like Yamahas and Hondas, and could care less for Suzuki and Kawasaki. I want one that would handle more difficult trails/hills, so I'm thinking something among the line of the DRZ400/440 or the XR650 (the 250 might be a bit small), but I'm interested in your opinions/recommendations.
- What type of Dual Sport will last on the freeway? Well I want a Dual Sport bike for commuting to work and other places. I was thinking about the 2015 Honda CRF250L but I heard that on the freeway it starts to have a little trouble when hitting 60-65. Now I will be riding the freeway quite a bit since that's how I get to work. So I need help on figuring out which bike is best for me. Also I'm 6'2 and about 260pounds. Please help me and my love handles finding a perfect bike.
- What to get for Dual Sprt Tires? I own a 2014 Honda Crf250x that I plan to make a supermoto. I can only find DOT approved tires for the road, but I will take the bike on the road only around 20% of the time, so I want to buy DOT approved dirt tires. Does anyone know of such a thing?
