buying used klr650

Saw an ad in the Cycletrader for an '89 with 22k, asking $1850.
Any opinions on value? Anything in particular I should look for
if/when I go see the bike? What questions should I ask about
part upgrades?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thnx
Alex

in the travel narrative section. At page 52, refers to this list, with
affection, as "KLR Dork List" and saying: "Oh hell, they'll probably be the
first to tell you they're moto-dweebs."

In my opinion you want lower miles. I always look for klr 650's w/
3000-8000 miles.
I bought a 95 w/ 8000 in the last year for 2400. I spent 300 bucks
transporting it.
I bought a 87 in 91 w/ 3000 miles for 1500. A steal.
I only settled for butt ugly 95 because all the 1988-2001's for 2800-
3500 bucks and 3000 miles on them were sold on issue date of cycle
trader....
My only theory is HOW LONG would I feel like going w/ no oil change
or any maint. esp when bought new. I say 3000-5000 miles
I'd prob give 1300 bucks for your said bike. Buy one after christmas
or before tax day. Better deals. Sometimes way better deals.
This is only my opinion.
