Bargain?

...a real cheap XLV750 with some minor issues sitting in my shed...

What kind of issues?
How much?

[Crasherfromwayback]

Lazy, unstressed motor, even if it had been around the clock 137,000 wouldn't put it out of consideration.

Suspension will be proably need some sort of freshening up, because it wasn't that flash to start. Brakes will be poor compared to what is available now.

You could probably do a whole lot worse than this.

I vaguely remember engine and subframe problems - the KLR650 was the fix. Remove the first digit and it might be worth a gamble.

I'm with Motu. Cam chain and cam chain tensioner issues mostly in my experience.

Both over your current budget but probably no issues to spend money on either.

This is close to your budget and if o/seas forums are to be believed is almost as capable as a DR650 and about the same as a KLR650.

Cheers

That last one (Freewind) is more-or-less a Suzuki ripoff of the BMW Funduro and as such has a 19" front. I like mine right enough and better riders than me can do interesting things with them. Tank side panels should be removed before doing so, however....
