Buying a bike in South Africa
I would like to buy a bike in South Africa and keep it for a while with my family in Botswana. As i'm familiar with airhead Beemers, that's my preference. Any airhead would be of interest, not just a GS. I might consider a different make, if I see something good.
The obvious questions are:
1. Where can I get the bike? Are there any dealers in SA that specialise in old BMWs? Any other recommendations?
2. How easy will it be for me to get insurance? Or should I perhaps get someone to own and register it in Gabs?
3. Will I need to permanently import it into Botswana? And will that be expensive? There are plenty of SA registered vehicles in Gabs, which I assume are temporarily imported under the SADC trade area agreement.
