i'm new to the group and am am thinking about buying a 1998 klr 650
locally.
it has 15,000 mi.on the clock.
it has just had a valve adjustment and has new tires.
it is in excellent condition, extremely clean, the guy that owns it
rides it to and from work locally.
also has a supertrap pipe.
the guy is a new father and wants to sell it. he wants $2300.00 for
it and i was going to see if i could get him down to $2,000.00
i have a 98 triumph tiger and a few vintage bmw's but would like to
buy something to take to the mountains in north carolina periodically
and ride the fire roads and trails, etc., also around town here.
any info. i can receive would be appreciated, as i want to get it
before bike week if i do buy it.
thanks, britboy (jacksonville, florida)

I'd pounce upon it!
Any post 96 with 15000 that's been serving it's master instead of
sittin around won't let you down.
Plus, good luck findin one that's in that condition period!
Rod, looked for 2 years and all the good ones were already sold!
Saved a couple tax refund checks and bought new.

Ah, yes, Naval Nuclear Power School, Bainbridge, Maryland 1973. Pickett
aluminum with it's plastic hard case. Tune it up and 3 digit accuracy,
sometimes more if the result was on the left hand side. Nuclear submarines,
another place were failure is not an option. In space the maximum living
space pressure differential possible is 14.7 psi. Bottom of the deepest
part of the ocean, approx. 15,000 psi. Later on in my career, I was a
senior quality assurance inspector for submarine repair. I used to say if
one went down and didn't come up, I'd be wishing I had been on it. Remember
the Scorpion and the Thresher.
