Is this the one on market place in Paignton ? Nice clean example, i had the 610 version back in the day, they are a little on the heavy side. Parts might be an issue going forward. Have a good listen to the motor once its warmed up there should be no rattles etc unlike the modern stuff. The suspension linkage is somewhat neglected on these bikes see if the grease nipple conversion has been done. Take the seat off and check the top of the shock for any cracks. As there is not sump bash plate fitted check the lower frame rails and engine cases for any damage.

Yes it is the one in Paignton, seems a nice bike but just feel maybe it's not the best option long term.
I do love my XR just after coming off twice yesterday and dealing with a kick-start in a narrow rut got me thinking maybe I should get something with an electric start.
Any recommendations would be appreciated if anyone on here has anything for sale.
I have been looking at ttr's and drz, etc but there is very little around, and what is around seems to be very expensive at the moment, or do I go against my gut and look at Ktm's

Bikes are up in value at the moment but XR's are doing well too, so if you're buying & selling it should equal out.
I understand you not wanting to have a bike without an electric start though, I wouldn't now either.
I think if I was buying a used bike now it would be just the main brands.
No idea sorry. I haven't really been watching specific bike prices, just looking broadly across the market. I looked recently at what people were asking for DRZ's and was shocked.
This looks like it sold recently on ebay and might be similar, when I clicked on the add it didn't appear to be there so maybe ebay is having 'a moment'.
