I've had a look at dealer sites in Australia and the following used bike sites:
http://bikes.carsales.com.au/pls/bikesales
http://bikepoint.ninemsn.com.au
Bikes certainly seem to hold their value much better than in the UK, helped no end I suppose by the dry climate and not having the British allergy to high mileage bikes.
My original intention was to buy and sell in Australia so at first I looked at bikes like the Dominator and XT600. However, as I’d like to ship the bike out of the country I'm now prepared to invest a bit more in the first place (possibly buying new) so my focus has switched to the F650GS, particularly the Dakar.
Either way I want something I can pick up without resorting to a crane - that tends to mean 1 cylinder.
Having read some of the shipping experiences in more detail there do seem to be more problems encountered by people shipping by sea than air! I'll definitely look at all the options available to me when the time comes to move on.
