craigslist guy posted:2005 Kawasaki KLR 650 on-off road bike, like new 1300 miles, ran great but lost the keys in a move so it needs a new ignition or to be rewired, will trade for another bike or dirtbike, $1700 obo Is it really possible this guy lost his keys or am I looking at a stolen bike? And how much could I talk him down from $1700?

CA tell me what bike to buy. I’ve owned a Shadow 750, a C10 Concours, and a sumo DRZ 400. Obviously the DRZ was the best. But I don’t really want to get another. I’d like something just a tad bigger for highway speeds. I am still drawn to sumos and dual sports. Honestly I just want to wheelie. I know. Just your average basic bitch over here. There’s a street legal 525 EXC about 8 hours away from me that I’m definitely not going to go get. But I do love that idea. I lust after the 701 but I don’t want to spend that much money. Same for the CRF450. I need to time travel to like 2025 when I can get those used. Are there bikes I’m not thinking of? Should I sack up and get the 525? Should I recognize I’m too old to wheelie and get a standard? Or just pay up for the bikes I actually want? Grace me with your wisdom.

$5k is probably my top but that would be very doable. I haven’t been looking at FB. Is that a good place these days?

Yeah don't let seat height limit you. I rock 30" legs and dirt bikes are not problem. Like the poster above says, these are light bikes so tiptoes isn't that bad, and it's not hard to hang a cheek off and get one foot down flat.

When I had a kid I sold my drz SM and bought a faster supermoto. So that’s my advice. But please be aware you’ll never ride again

I work from home and wouldn't trade that for anything. Except sometimes I think about how good a commute would be so I could ride more often. Motorcycles are a sickness.

Check Facebook marketplace. Seems like a lot of people are listing there now instead of CL for whatever reason.

Yup. My DRZ was stolen from my gated and locked yard in DC. It was an 8-foot fence and gate. But I didn’t lock the bike to something and I didn’t have a disc brake. Fortunately the dipshit also didn’t know what he was doing. He pushed it a couple blocks and a neighbor called the cops after he spent a while trying to figure out how to start it in an alley.

Mildly farkled DR 650? Or is there a reason that’s not on your list? Drz 400 honestly sounds like it would fit the bill too if she can swallow a step down in displacement Edit: Drz probably doesn’t have what you want for (I assume) highway riding

Feels like running, decent condition bikes have a price floor even if they’re 25 years old. Anyway I’d buy that

My sumo DRZ came from advrider too. I think it had been passed around there a few times before I got it. I’m sure plenty of CA bikes have.

Concours 1000 if you don’t mind 1980s tech. A used one will probably have all the good stuff stuff added already so that’s a bonus.

Asking people not to use a racial slur *even if they don’t know it’s a slur* is extremely loving reasonable and there’s no reason CA can’t use one of many other terms like JDM.

TheBacon posted:It’s definitely the opposite of what I expected. I expected people hurting for money so a lot of nice things to be flooding the used market as people needed cash over toys. Boy was I wrong. I’m sure there is still some of that but as pointed out the influx of those still with disposable income and their usual outlets blocked is more than making up for it. I suspect that part is still coming, but I’ve also given up trying to make sense of things so who knows.

T Zero posted:I have no qualms with dual sports - I passed my MSF class on one. I just haven't found any in my area in my price range. One of my constraints is that I have to buy from a dealer because our local DMV is booked for months. That sucks about needing a dealer. Can confirm DRZ is a perfect DC bike. And reasonably cheap to insure as i remember. The one thing it’s not good for is riding out 66 to fun roads. But there are other places to ride. Other downside of a DS is it’s going to get stolen. A cover and a big lock to something permanent are very much advised. e: who was the poster who hit a mailbox? Maybe I have the story wrong but they’re the only one I remember who bought a bike, had an extremely stupid crash, and stuck around and was a good poster.

For 650 euro it seems like a no brainer but maybe I’m missing something.

goddamnedtwisto posted:TBH I'm fairly sure - what with the upside-down crankcases - you could only make a Deltic as a 2-stroke, It’s a 4, and your owner’s manual will list the frequency and duration of wheelies and stoppies to keep the upper crankcase oiled.

Martytoof posted:Sounds good, probably something I just need to get used to. You really will. I have a 30 inch inseam and had a DRZ for years and a similarly tall sumo now. It’s no problem at all. You’ll get used to just using one foot at a stop within your first couple hours riding it.
