The price was reasonable in context of the market, but it's still a 14 year old bike. Occasionally I find it hard to believe/justify the used prices, but given the price of new comparable dual sports it's a bargain.

Saw that. 53,000 km seems high, but 42,000 km is the first scheduled valve check on a wr250r.
If it was commuting km, then its better than low speed dual sport duty. Linkage, head, and swingarm bearings would need to be greased. Mine were all replaced long before that; but I treat mine like a proper dirtbike.

Should get snatched up quickly.

That will help overall range if you're worried about a lack of gas stations between destinations. If your problem is just having to stop and refill the tank every 200 kms, then any auxilliary fuel that doesn't feed your main tank won't change that. The Acerbis rear-mounted (mentioned above) is a good option if you can plumb it, otherwise they have smaller fork and bar-mounted ones too. The bar-mounted looks easiest to adapt to a street bike, and I've been considering one, but it's also the smallest at only 2L:

Just offer if for sale, or make it a straight trade for a late model Vstrom

Upside is dependability, lower tco, no more range of destination anxiety.

And you get to hang with the coolest GTAM riders.
 
Scrambler is back up for sale. Hopefully 8k is reasonable with service done.

🤞

Although I kinda wanna keep it now…looks so much better with the lower bars.

Fingers crossed indeed!

How do you find the comfort difference with lower bars? I see so many people put on higher bars or use risers, but then complain about wind buffeting. I don't mind a forward lean at speed, personally, but I think my body is permanently twisted from too many years on sportbikes...

Once I take it to go fill up this week for winter storage I'll let you know.

So far...it went from the trailer, into the garage. I haven't sat on it yet!

Good luck - Where's the listing?

I assume that's not a picture from your ad. Nice pictures can make a big difference. In sales you're often not just selling the object.
 
I don't know the market for these bikes, but this struck me as a good deal. If it's not, I'm sure someone here will correct me.

Both Kijiji and FBMP.

Although stupid FBMP takes a random pic as the main pic and it’s frustrating as I can’t seem to control which is the main pic.

I think if you edit the ad in a browser on a computer, you can reorder the images by dragging them around, and the top left one will be the thumbnail.

(Unsolicited advice incoming. It's a minor thing, but if it's me, I delete the photo of the sprocket, as it and the rim look grubby and otherwise doesn't offer much useful info for a buyer. I'd also give it a wash and take some quality pics with the bags off and the low bars on. Glamour shots, as it were. You are selling a fantasy, not a practical item. The practical stuff comes later when a buyer is trying to justify the emotional purchase to themselves and/or the grumbling spouse, but you want them to fall in love with YOUR bike first. Oh, and let it dry after the wash before taking photos. Post-wash pics with a wet bike suggest that sparkling clean isn't the normal condition of the bike, and you want to give the impression that the bike has been kept spotless and meticulously maintained, even if that's a fantasy as well.)

Found it on Kijiji but not on MP.

If it were me, I would retake one of your pictures after closing your garage door. When I look back at the listing for the bike I sold this year, I hate the fact the garage is open. It's not particularly messy and there's a nice car there on a lift, but it still clutters up the picture. I also don't like the cluttered background in some other shots.

More unsolicited advice - try taking pictures with the camera at bike level, not from above. They almost always look better that way; that's how they usually appear in catalog photos. If you have a rear paddock stand, consider putting the bike on that and see if it looks better (ever notice how most pictures of the sexy sport bikes almost always show them on paddock stands?)

Pay attention to where the light is coming from so it will be flattering. Don't shoot the bike at mid day. Try to shoot against as uncluttered a background as possible. And show accessories like bags off the bike in a separate photo. Again, bikes almost always look better that way, even if OEM.
