[meisman]

Looking at 610sm 6700 miles price just dropped from $4400.00 to 4000.00, is this an ok price?

Depends on your location, In California if the bike was well maintained that would be a good price.

Any mods? Any aintenance records? That stuff will make a difference.

Two years ago I paid $4500 for my 07 SM610 with 54xx miles on it, perfect condition and properly maintained, full Leo system and tuned by Bill (was Bill's nephew's bike).

I'd say if it's perfect, has less than 20k miles and has the basic goodies done right $4k is about right for around here (Oregon).

i paid £2900 (which is about $4700) for my 2008 with 2900 miles on it and it was spotless. $700 discounted for nearly 4000 miles seems too expensive still, unless it has a load of extras on it? up to you whether you think the carbed model is better than the fuel injected

 

[JonXX]

The carbed bikes have several advantages over the fi bikes. Of course there are also a few disadvantages.

Bike is located in northern Illinois, has a Barrett slip on, K&N filter and jetting changes. No other info.

got any pics? i'd probably offer him $3500 for it but would wanna mechanical inspection before i parted with any $$$. i'd check the cam chain tensioner and do an oil change on it checking the bag filters before i actually bought it. you could offer to pay for the oil so if you don't buy it he's got a free oil change out of it. will only cost you about $20 and you'll get a little insight into how she's getting on inside.

alternatively i'd pay a bit more and go for a 630. would probably be a smarter buy in the long run

I new to this style of bike and husky. Closest thing I've owned is a KLR650. What i'm looking for is an around town and short trip fun ride. Maybe I should just pick-up another KLR? Wanted something with better suspension and some more power.

 

[Pinepig]

It would be perfect for those parameters, I LOVE my 610, it certainly is fun to ride.

Here is a pic, I assume a cam chain replacement will be needed it now has 6700 miles and price is 4000.00.

nice, she looks clean mate. not necessarily with the cam chain, mine's got 8200 miles on it and it still seems ok (haven't checked for a while though). best bet is to go have a look at the bike and inspect it, only real way you're gonna know. cam chain tensioner check is 5 mins work to inspect, then you could just ask how often the oil's been changed and ask for receipts. does look like it's been looked after but i'd still only wanna pay $3500-$3750 tops though

That is a fairly desirable bike.. Carb, no fuel pump, engine lasts a long time, nice suspension, can get decent fuel milage...

If is at a dealer, I'd be tempted to see if $4000 could be the Out The Door price.

Thanks for the help, think I'll give it a go.
