This 1988 Kawasaki 249cc KLR has 16, 380 recorded miles and features Renthal handlebars. The bike has a snapped brake lever, perished fork gaiters, and while the engine turns over, it is currently a non-runner. The KLR comes with a V5C document, acquired by the late owner in October 2011, showing 13 previous keepers. It should be noted, the V5C lists the engine number as 'KL250DE019965,' indicating an engine change from its original. Additional paperwork includes a 2011 purchase receipt describing the bike as a non-runner, an MoT that expired on May 30th, 2013, and two keys. Assorted spare parts are also offered with the motorcycle, making it a suitable project for restoration. Despite its non-running status, this KLR could be a rewarding challenge for a collector or enthusiast seeking to bring it back to life. Offered strictly as viewed. Offered with key.
