BMW X-Challenge ready for Africa in Nairobi
Dear overlanders,
for those who plan to discover Africa on a very reliable motorcycle which is ideal for the roads in Africa that is the one: BMW X-Challenge with 26000 km on the wheel, big Touratech tank which allows a range of almost 600 km, Touratech suspension, extra lights, big rear rack, panniers, heated grips, charging sockets under the seat ect - it is waiting for you at the jungle junction in Nairobi. Currently in Kenya with a German Carnet de Passage, new Mitas tires, new oil and air filters, new sparking plugs. Fork service only 6000 km ago. Very reliable and excellent mileage.

Text in German:
FERTIG FÜER DIE AFRIKA-TOUR! Steht schon in Nairobi.
Mit dieser BMW X-Challenge mit großem Tank bin ich 5000 km problemlos durch Äthiopien und Kenya gefahren. Sie ist die leichteste 650 er Enduro (leer 153 kg), hat mit dem Zusatztank eine sehr große Reichweite von über 550 km, ist sparsam, durchzugsstark und der Rotax-Motor hält angeblich ewig. Vor der Reise wurde alles durchgecheckt inkl. Gabelservice, neue Kette, Staubschutz, Motor kontrolliert, Zusatzscheinwerfer montiert, die wir wirklich gut brauchen konnten. Der Federweg ist bei den schlechten Straßen super. Chris von der Jungle Junction hat sie durchgecheckt und auch noch neue Reifen aufgezogen (Mitas Enduro) sowie Öl- und Luftfilter gewechselt. Zusätzlich liegen 2 neue Schläuche (18 und 21 ") bei, sowie eine 3-Bein-Stütze zum Aufbocken. Für die Extras und neuen Reifen verlange ich zusätzlich 350 €, was nur dem Selbstkostenpreis entspricht. Ist aber sinnvoll, wenn man das nicht auf Deutschland mitbringen muss. Sie ist startklar. Carnet ist in Nairobi. Praktische Details: Griffheizung, externe, leicht zu erreichende Polklemmen zum Aufladen der Batterie unter der Sitzbank, Stromabschaltung + leicht zugängliche Sicherungen (weißer Kasten auf Foto), Motorschutz, Handguards aus Alu. Kompletter Koffersatz (Dirtbagz) inklusive. Hebel (Bremse, Kupplung, Schaltung) hätte ich noch in München und auch einen 2. Satz Kofferträger.neu
Ach ja - Versicherung: die BMW ist für Kenya versichert + mittels Comesa Yellow Card auch für die meisten Nachbarländer. N
Nach Nairobi fliegen, Zeug in die Taschen packen und losfahren. Ich habe mit der Empfehlung ein gutes Gewissen. Ich kann keine Garantie geben, aber es gibt keine versteckten Mängel.

I would recommend putting a price on your ad my man! I'm currently traveling Europe after the last 5 months in Mexico on my X-Challenge. They are great bikes! Good luck on the sale buddy

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.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
