How about a 2002 (or 2001, can't remember now, not that they changed at
all) Suz GS500E with about 8,000 miles?   It got a 0 mph drop the first
year I had it and  I've never bothered to replace the brake lever, but
other than that it's never been down.  Plus: Very reliable, upgraded
with Progessive springs in the front. Minus: Owner will want to replace
the tires this year.

 I'm up to four bikes at the moment, so I was planning to clean it up
and sell it in the spring when it got warmer for about $2,200.

Figured I'd post up here to see if anyone was selling a good starter
bike.  He's looking for cheap, but mechanically sound.  Looks not
really important.
Any leads appreciated.  Thanks.

Try Craigslist motorcycles.  If not a bike, there is a lot of gear listed.
FWIW, a buddy in Olney has a 500 Interceptor for $2000.  It's an '85
but, he's a mechanic so it's solid, updated chain tensioners etc.
