Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

That an old Funduro? One of the mechanics loves them, especially the ooooold versions. But then maybe he was being sarcastic. Can never tell.

Seems very strong money to me. That generation F650 rust like hell. That one looks the exception, maybe hence the price!
But the Rotax engine basically last forever, the injection on that version is good, the 'GS' is the one you kinda want. They did a Dakar one too, which is just like a 2005 MTB 'all mountain bike' has way too much travel and geo not changed, so rides like a bucking mule.
Get some big metal boxes on it and they are great for back lane and B roads.
Great for a beginner as big single is friendly, bags of low + mid range, any gear is the right gear. They fall apart on faster a roads, when anything remotely road bike shaped will fly past you as you wobble around in the wind. But in the first few thousand miles of riding, probably a good thing to stay below triple digits.
