So you you think a (supposedly) barely used 2004 Honda crf150f for $1200 is a good place for us to start?

Kelly Blue Book is your friend....

$1280 for excellent condition at dealer retail.

$805 good condition trade in.

I would take the average and work to that.

Also, seat height on a 150F is 33", so probably won't be too short to feel small for a 6 footer. If anything, maybe it will make him feel very much in command of the bike.

I'm 6 foot, and my bike seat height is 36", and it might be a little tall, but that's how it is, and they lower a lot once you sit on them.

I would say thats a fair price for both parties involved. Hopefully you could talk him down to $1000. Just don't spend money on any mods (modifications)exhaust, suspension etc. because it won't be long before he'll want a 250f, just save that money to spend on a bigger bike.
But like sub said earlier, if it doesn't start with in 4-5 kicks cold don't buy it. The top end is going out.
