What's a 1990 KLR650 Worth?
Looking at picking one of these up. It has less than 4000 miles, clear title and new tires (Avons). Has a couple of dents in the tank, but overall looks to be in good shape. Mods include Uni-Filter, cored exhaust, rejetted and recently replaced chain and sprockets. I took it for a ride (street & hiway only) and it ran well.

1990? That's an early one! But almost identical to a 2006! "Book value" is going to be very low of course. In my opinion, any good dualsport motorcycle that is in clean running condition is worth at least $1,500. However, I'd hope to purchase it for $1,000 or less. $800 might be a good target.
Re: What's a 1990 KLR650 Worth?
NADA, to me, is notoriously low on price. This spring I priced my 2001 400cc LC4 at $3000. Sold it for $2900. Had three very interested buyers. Price based on similar sales that I could find on AdvRider and similar. NADA listed avg retail as $1695. I wouldn't have sold it for that price.
So my advice is to go search for similar sales on AdvRider. CraigsList doesn't work as the posts are deleted, unless you can find a cached page via Google.

Give me a shout once you get one, would like to see how you can handle one of these pigs in the dirt. You should have learned once you rode mine, that once you ride one, you will buy one. BTW, mine is a 2007 with 15,000 miles and I wouldn't dare sell it.twerth wrote:Looking at picking one of these up. It has less than 4000 miles, clear title and new tires (Avons).

Glad to hear your still kicking. I used to have one of these when they were still 600 cc's and didn't have electric start (1984 I think). I did a lot of damage with that thing and always regretted getting rid of it. I raced motocross when I was younger (20+ years ago), but it's like riding a bicycle, right? I'll drop you a line if I get it and we'll see if I remember how (gas on the right, shift on the left?).

Re: What's a 1990 KLR650 Worth?
Well, I went ahead and took the plunge. I spent the last month or so fixing a few minor things (seat cover, paint, skid plate, etc.). I've attached before and after pictures, so let me know what you think. Now I just need to find a place to get it dirty...

With those tires, I wouldn't look at getting too dirty yet. BTW, which is the before and which is the after pic ?

You're right, those tires aren't very aggressive, but maybe not as bad as they look in the picture. Problem is they're new and could last a whiletp_cracker wrote:With those tires, I wouldn't look at getting too dirty yet. BTW, which is the before and which is the after pic ?
I guess I should have labeled the pictures so ex-CRBers would understand. The one with the sheepskin seat cover before (smartazz).

Yeh, it's a long sad story, but you've got time, right?Kware wrote:You did all the work just to Sell It??

The boss (wife) can only tolerate one bike at a time so for me, the Ducati's it. But she's ok with a project bike as long as the plan is to sell it once it's done. That's how the KLR fits in. I've done a few bikes before (see the link below), and even advertised one of them (a street tracker) on this forum. So, I've got the KLR advertised on Craigslist, but I think I'm asking enough that it won't go quickly. All part of my sinister plan (evil laugh). Hope the wife doesn't visit this forum.

Did you make sure it has the good Doohickey and not the stock? Nice plan by the way, just hope your wife doesn't find out, otherwise you won't have any bikes.

Re: What's a 1990 KLR650 Worth?
I know the story. I maybe selling my DRZ400S, because the Boss, has decided she is interested in riding her own street bike. So trying to decide if it will have to go to get her a starter bike.

I guess it was always a risk that this day would come--Kware is going to be a Harley-only guy. It was nice riding with you while it lasted, K. Unfortunately, we can't be friends any longer.Kware wrote:I know the story. I maybe selling my DRZ400S, because the Boss, has decided she is interested in riding her own street bike.

Re: What's a 1990 KLR650 Worth?
Wow!, that hurt's Troy. Well, now I have even more decisions, Piss out the boss, or keep you on my friend list. It seems like just yesterday that Mike and I met you and Klye in Parkville for your first published ride.
Like Twerth, I have a backwards plan. I would sell the DRZ, get a starter for the boss, she doesn't cut it, sell the starter bike, buy more of an adventure bike, so I can take off with you to Arkansas....

Does not seem like a decision to make to me. See you soon on a gravel road.

Can't you just stall for a couple months? If that doesn't work I'll sweep off the front porch, maybe throw an old piece of carpet out there, $500 a month.

Re: What's a 1990 KLR650 Worth?
Thanks for the offer Dean. But I think we'll find a way to stay friends with Troy without me sleeping on your porch. When he thinks about how many good memories we have, he'll take back those mean things he said.

I'm not a KLR fan Kevin, but I'm sure you could work out a trade for you Hardly Runningson. Of course you might have to kick in a few bucks to make it a fair trade!
