If you start with a nice unit I think you can do it for well under two grand, likely less.
A nice Passport or Trail 90 runs $1200 to $1500 around here. Bikes that "ran when parked" go for about $800 - $1000. Add in a Pitster Pro 190 motor and I'm at $2000 to $2500 for a bike that the bones are older than me.

I also don't buy bikes with carbs anymore. It is 2018 and fuel injection is a wonderful thing.
