Selling my trusty steed in Peru in July
Hi,

I have a fantastically reliable 2001 Yamaha XT600e for sale. Its done just about 45,000k, fully kitted out with Hepco & Becker racks and panniers + top box, Acerbis 24l tank (range of about 500KMs), tall H&B windscreen, crash bars. Its got a new MT60 rear tyre and front is a Metzeler Sahara. Full service history, this is a super reliable air cooled single. Handled 5000m fully loaded 2 up without a cough over the Andes.

I bought it in Santiago de Chile from Victor Marquez and its Chilean registered so nice and easy to sell and transfer.

We plan to be in Peru early July to sell the bike... but plans change, so let me know where and when you need one! If it doesn't find a new home then its coming back to the UK with us !

Here are some photos of the bike in action, note we no longer have the tank bag as it went with the little original 15l tank.

bike in SA
I was wondering how much trouble it is getting a bike titled in your name down there. If you buy it from a dealer I worry about taking it across borders. A friend did it but he had to get some other paperwork befor ehe went down.

Basically you either need the bike to have a regeistration document in your name, or an official (notorised) permission to use the bike. This is called a Carter Poder. They just want to ensure the bike is not stolen. There is a good post by Phil Wicks which explains the steps in registering a bike in Chile. We found that it can be a bit tricky leaving chile as they want you to have a permanent RUT (tax code) to allow you to leave without exporting the bike. But after a few hours we were able to cross the border any way. There are a number of ways around these issues, send me an email if you are interested in buying the bike. Its great fun riding around south america, i suggest you get on the plane and meet us in lima and you can ride her off before the month is out!

Good luck,

dave
