Is this bike worth the money?

Came across this bike. Just checked it out in person. The owner is holding for me for a decision at $4500. Probably can negotiate down a bit more because of due tags.

This 821 has been sitting for two years at 13k miles. 8k miles service completed at dealership. Owes tags about $600.
Other than rat-chewed up fuel line (pop out at left side of the tank so most likely it’s a fuel line?), bent lever and bent brake pedals there is not other damage. All fluids need to be flushed and replaced, tires need to be replaced. Most likely belts need to be replaced as well.

I have worked on some bikes at home before but nothing too intense or pro level. I really want to know if it’s worth the time and effort to get it running at this price. Thinking about restoring it to keep it or to sell it after

Appreciate all the advice in advance!!!!

Is this worth it?

I’m looking for a reliable bike for commuting and longer trips/work. I’m wondering if it’s worth spending $2000 on this bike (I can negotiate it down), or should I allocate a bit more budget to get one with less mileage ($3500 with 20k miles)? I don’t have a budget issue, but I’m a bit hesitant to spend more on a touring bike that I’m gonna put a lot of mileage on. Also I’m 5’7 and I wonder if this is going to be too tall for me.

I appreciate all the suggestions in advance!

Maybe the deal of the month?

I used to own a red 19 CB, but I sold it because I was moving. Today I stumbled upon this listing and immediately reached out to the seller. It was actually a 350 miles 2024 model with E Clutch, but it also comes with a 2023 Ninja 400. The only issue with the Ninja 400 is a bent brake pedal and scratched fairings. Both clean title.

Has anyone else got lucky as well with a CB650R?

Thoughts on this deal?

Came across this bike on FB marketplace in CA. This is worth the price? And how is the 03 750 compare to other years?
Appreciate all the comments and help!

What are these racks for?

Recently joined the club. Spent about 6k on this baby. The last owner did some mods but I’m not sure what are these rack for? I know it’s for saddlebags but I have no experience about this mounting system.

Appreciated.

I bought mine a while ago and the last owner installed these crash bars that are damaged. I want to take them off and get new set. Any suggestions on how to take them off? Much appreciated.
