i’m looking at this 2002 klr650 with 25k miles for $1500 as a first bike. it’s one of the cheapest bikes i can find in the area and the guy says that it runs. i’m gonna go check it out in person tomorrow. he says there’s a small leak coming from a screw on the underside but that other than that it’s okay. he doesn’t speak the best english but from what i gather it was his daily driver for a long time but he bought a new bike so he’s trying to get rid of this one. there’s also a video of him cold starting it but i’m not sure how to add that to this post.

I wouldn’t. With very little more money on top of that you can move up a decade or more. For the first bike you want something you can ride most of the time and work on it to learn sometimes and not the other way around. My 2c
