Buy Bike Namibia. Drop in SA.
Hello All,
A friend and I are planning to ride from Windhoek to Cape Town sometime in Jan 2011, taking hopefully not much more than 3 weeks.
Does anyone have any knowledge about buying motorbikes in Windhoek? We're looking to spend about £500 each with the plan to either sell or just leave in Cape Town when finished.
Any suggestions of a popular bike that we could easily (and cheaply) get fixed en route?
From what I've gathered from the forum we would not need a carnet but may need international licence? Is this essential or could we just cross some palms with a little extra silver?
We've considered renting but from the sounds of things it would be considerably more expensive? Would buying a bike in Windhoek take a lot of time? Any ideas on how we could make it quicker?
Any help, hugely appreciated.
Jude
