I think someone should step up and do the old guy a favour by taking that old piece of sh!t off his hands . . . .

Here’s t1988 Kawasaki KLR 650
he scoop:
It’s been sitting up for over 2 years. I’ve had 2 hip surgeries since then and the bike was real low on my priority list. It ran great before that and obviously needs some fuel system cleanup. From the fuel tank to the carburetor needs some cleaning and some TLC. The engine has low miles (a little over 5100 miles) and should be clean and strong..
The fuel tank lock needs a work over and the petcock has a broken o-ring.
The choke cable is there, but not the lever, and is in “manual mode”, but works.
I don‘t think anything else is wrong with this thing
New battery (bought in July)
I think $300 would be a good deal for the right person. This is a fun bike and gets very good gas mileage.
I’m forced to stick to 4 wheels with my unstable hips.

Re: Non BMW, but what a deal....
Just for grins, since the license plate is visible, I ran the tags on public data.com. I'd say the bike is real, the address matches the ad. Could be a buyer came in already and the ad was deleted.
Re: Non BMW, but what a deal....
For $300, that is VERY believable!
I think he just wanted some crack for the weekend.
