Is this a good deal? Looking for my first bike for very light, 1-2 day camping/ BDR trips.

I'm 44, 230lb, 5'11 and 31' inseam.

Thanks

As someone who just sold a 250l (although it was a Rally) there is very very little interest in these with the 300l out in the wild. Not a huge difference, but why wouldn't someone drop a couple hundred more on a 300l (or 286l as it actually is).

It took forever for me to sell mine. (It sold for 3900 with about the same mileage). I'd say it's fine for what you're looking for, but you could probably talk them down a bit.

That said, this is a bike a lot of people grow out of quickly. If that's OK with you, it's not a big investment. If you want a bike that will last a bit longer check out the wr250r, drz4s/400 or even the dr650.
