I know each decision is subjective but I need some feedback please. Reason being I am far from anywhere that I can go kick tyres or maybe ride one of these bikes I am interested in. I'm trying to get as much info as possible before traveling to go look at them. Problem is they are in opposite directions from each other.
I guess I could have followed on this thread I initially started https://wilddog.net.za/threads/what-should-i-pay-for-a-crf250l.284844/
The bikes in question are a 2017 CRF250L ± 3000km or a 2021 CRF300L ± 19000km with some nice extras but a coastal bike with surface oxidation on spokes and other parts. Chain and sprockets also need replacing. R10k price difference. I know I said I would never buy from Honda George but they did follow up with me yesterday.
I am not looking for a multiday adventure bike. Rather an affordable bike for a slow saunter on dirt and back roads, probably 200km ride. I originally had a budget of around R50ish but see I will need to up this slightly.
I am 1.86m and 98kg.
