Malawi bike market
It now looks like I'm moving to Malawi in the New Year and so am looking at shipping my 2004 BMW R1200GS from the UK to Malawi and and looking for good shippers/clearing agents. Currently I have learned from the Malawi government site that the bike will incur 101.5% duty (which is abit eye-watering ) which exceeds the value of the bike. Anyone done similar and able to provide some insight? As an alternative is there a chance I could buy a similar sized bike over there? not fussed about the age and happy to do some work. The bike needs to be capable of getting from Lilongwe to Francistown, Botswana, and similar distances elsewhere. Any assistance gratefully received.
