1994 KLR 650....garage kept 9,000 miles on it. Looke at it and road it. they are bigger than i thought! very nice though. This particular one was stored in Michigan he said 10 mnths out of the year and done the right way. Up on jacks so the springs were not compressed, drained gas etc....however, the front brake lever seemed really soft and when I asked him, he said he had never changed the brake fluid. Makes me think what else was never changed. It looks nice and love the old school colors. Even though it was stored and taken pretty darn good care of, 18 years is still 18 years those parts have been on there and that brake fluid has been in there. He's asking $2000, but I would not pay that.
Another 2002 KLR 650 with 19,000 which he would give me for $1300. Going to look at it Sat.
2007 Suzuki DR200SE with 3300 miles for asking $1600 and gonna look at that tomorrow.

The 94 is a cool KLR, the 94 and 95 models were known as "Barbie Bikes" with the funky purple and teal colors and crazy graphics... I think $2000 is a little steep for that bike though, unless it was absolutely mint! A friend of mine sold one here for $1500 and I kick my butt I didn't buy it :?
The 2002 could be a super bike and that's a very reasonable price. 19,000 miles is nothing for a KLR, they run forever! Definitely have a good look at this bike, sounds like a prospect
I think I would pass on the DR200 though, I don't think you'd notice a huge difference from your Q other than the DR is a dual sport and your Q is a supermoto.
Please keep us posted on what you find, plus, we love pictures! (particularly of KLR's for me)
