Saw on Craigslist a red/black (really want it over the green) with 7,000ish miles. Asking 4100. Just wanted some thoughts on if this is a fair price; it is in my budget. And since it's my first bike, would appreciate what to look out for.

Thanks in advance . . .

2012 KLX 250 S

 

2012 KAWASAKI KLX 250 SUPER CLEAN!!

Mint 2012 red/black Klx250s with 2,068 miles for $3,390....
Since you're in Ohio not sure if you wanted to travel but if you're going to spend $4,100 you might as well consider buying one with lower miles.
Hank is a good guy. I bought my 2009 from him a few months ago and I am very pleased with my bike.
Other options to do a search for a specific make/model in your area you could try:

Very useful way to locate any items you may be looking for.
Hope you find this useful.

Kawikid,

Lower miles isn't really a huge concern. Bikes completely break in around 6,000 miles from what I have read.

The link you provided has a bike with only 2,000 miles but has new tires; this raises a concern for me. I do not even know what tires are on them (i.e., brand name).

As far as WI, I do not want to spend about $100 in gas to find out that the bike is not what I want because I cannot know the true condition unless I see it in person, right? Moreover, I am a firm believer in opportunity cost; therefore, spending a couple hundred dollars, especially when KBB prices it at 4100, for convenience is justified.

Thank you for finding me another bike. I have done a little research since posting the bike. I still invite any comments and/or advice for my search. Thnaks
