Mid Range bike in Namibia around may 2018

Hello,
Does anyone have to sell a adventure ready bike in Namibia around may 2018.

I prefer a vstrom 650, klr650 or bmw650, from 2014 and newer.

Thanks,
Djin

Mid Range bike in Namibia around may 2018

Hi Djin

I may have a 2014 XT660z for sale in South Africa (north of Cape Town) if that works for you. I've driven from there to Ais Ais, Namibia in one long day, but probably better as two easy days riding.

I bought the XT last year from the person who had owned it from new and rode it from Cape Town to Nairobi, then shipped it back to Cape Town. i have another 7 day trip lined up within South Africa in December 2017, but am then likely to sell.

(I have been exploring bringing it back to the uk but duties mean this is not sensible. It is possible i will keep it and ship it to the USA to do the TAT, my next big adventure, but if this does not make sense - still exploring - I will sell).

The bike is garaged with my twin brother and registered in South Africa in his name. I am British but he is now a permanent resident in South Africa. It is set up for travel with panniers, heated grips, crash bars and power outlet.

If of interest drop me a pm and we can chat after December when things should be clearer.

Cheers
Andy

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
