I hate to start this kind of thread but I'm pretty bike illiterate. Thanks in advance.
I've got the chance to buy a pretty clean '96 Suzuki dr200se with 9,000 miles for around $1,000. I have always wanted a bike to beat around the farm with. I don't really want something to big because I've never really rode much and want to get my feet wet. I would be using the bike to go back and forth to school, scoot around town, and explore some farms, and possibly do some woods riding.
How would this bike fair for that kind of riding? How reliable and is there any problem areas I should look for? I might need to hop on the freeway on occasion (65-70 mph 20 miles tops) , how would this bike hold up?
Edit: Also just found a 95 KLR250 with 2k miles for $1500. Looks clean, but once again don't know too much about it.
