I take it that was for the DRZ400S ad... Looks to me like a touring rider not a weekend throttle twister. and less of a shot in the dark than buying from ebay. I would think those 24,000 k were pretty gentle. as in I don't think he's had it over a set of doubles. Plus, the price is same as a bare bones ebay bike, panniers, tank, power outlets, racks, screen, light guard, bash plate etc are mostly extras.mate thats exactly what i want except its allready done what i want, sorry but i dont really wan tot buy a bike thats allready dont alot of touring, that to me says its had a long, hard life and i'd rather a bike that was used as a weekend bike
which ever 2nd hand bike you get, I'd be replacing and flushing ALL fluids, F&R brake fluid, fork oil, engine/gear box, empty tank/flush, valve clearance, bolt tightness across bike, 1/2 days work for a weekend spanner swinger. Get a manual, cause you'll have to know the bike when you're de-watering after drowning it on a water crossing.
anyway, if you had ya licence, it'd make an awesome first ride home, tassie to the big island.
If the bikes gonna do jumps, it'll be harsh for a tour, if the bikes for touring, it'll be harsh on jumps.
Good luck on whatever you choose.
