Talk me in/out of this 05 dr650
Looking hard at this. Really want to get off road here in Oregon. Been riding 15 years on road, many bikes. Even had a dr350 as my first bike but never explored off road on it, regretfully. Now I’m getting off the cruiser and into a dual sport. I got the boots, the gear, even got the in reach,, just been waiting to get the right bike at the right price.
My concern with this bike is the over all age. I’m handy as a mechanic and can keep a carb bike running no problem. Let me know what you think about this deal. If you can’t see the link it’s an 05 with 17000 miles. 5.6 gal tank and aftermarket forks. 3000 asking price

Thanks
Edit: thanks for the great answers, I appreciate the advice. Here’s an example of another option in my area. Bikes are pretty pricey here in the pnw and it’s spring. But I haven’t seen any dr650 for less than 3 that isn’t totally thrashed. A clean one with all the great mods sold for 4000 recently. This one is clean: https://www.facebook.com/share/1GN3Fga6Ua/?mibextid=wwXIfr
