I have a 2016 300 with 150 hrs, and 2200 miles. It is one of multiple dirt bikes – so it does not get ridden exclusively. So, a 2013 with 600 miles is somewhat suspect. Plus, with only 600 miles, it probably has something like 35 or 40 hours on the bike. And hours matter more than miles on a 2-stroke. Having a top end done with very few hours (most do a top-end between 100 and 150 hours), again seems suspect. I would ask how many hours are on the bike, and see what he says. As for frame paint, depends on where it is. Did a skid plate or riders boot wear it off? Or is it worn in an area that suggests crashes and possible repairs? As for the price, I would not pay 4K for a low hour 2013. But, I do know many people are capitalizing on the Covid angst and people’s desire to get outside, and are getting top dollar on used bikes. So, it may be right in today’s market.
Other’s that have (or have had) a 2013 can chime in on the differences. Mainly suspension upgrades would be my assumption, and few engine improvements until you get to 2019 and beyond.
