coming to Melbourne, end of May
Hello All,
I will be coming to Melbourne (maybe Sydney if easier for bikes) at the end of May. I want to buy a bike to travel the country for two months. I have read about dealer buy backs but I doubt these will be good deals. I have also been looking on "trading post" and "bike point" to get an idea for price ranges. Would Ebay.au be better?
I travel light so I don't need a big GS or 1000cc sport bike. Any bike recommendations or buying advice would be appreciated. I have done long trips on all kinds of bikes, KLR 650, V-strom 650, honda 125 step through, bmw r75, etc. I am looking to spend less than $4000 for a bike (so that If I have trouble selling at the end I won't get screwed), and in that range it seems that a KLR650, or DRZ-400 would be the best dual sport options, while a early 2000s Hornet250 or a mid 90s CBF600 and kawi nija 250, would be the best street bike options. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
PS. Anybody want to go riding with me, foreign or domestic, would be cool. I am always interested in meeting people who can teach me a thing or two.
Cheers, Matt
