Looking closely at an X-300, need your thoughts

Currently looking at three Kawasaki Versys-X 300s,, a new 2024 for $7.5k, a 2021 for $6k with 1k miles, and a 2020 for $5.5l with about 4k miles and im trying to decide if the used ones are worth it. I'm also wondering if the break in period ( like keeping it under 4,000 RPM) is a pain with the stock gearing.. I picked the X-300 over bikes like the CRF300L and CB500X coz its a good all arounder, reliable, smooth, and flexible for both street and dirtroad. Would love to hear your thoughts and advices.
 
Have you considered how much you value the warranty and peace of mind from buying new versus saving money with a used one that's already past the break-in phase?
 
No actually, and that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for bringing this up.
Tho im also on a tight budget so theres that. Good point tho, totally forgot about that.
