What cheap 35+ year old bike would be the best?
I am unfortunate enough to live in Denmark. This is a nice enough place if you dont like motorcycles, but with a 180% tax on vehicles it is hell if you do.
shitty bikes from the 80's are the cheapest at around 3000 euro for a not very good one and dont even get me started on the never bikes.
I prefer cheaper bikes for travelling but I simply can't get one in my country and if I have one that is registered in another country I am risking getting the state on my neck (they see it as tax fraud).
I have different options ofcourse, but one of them is (as the title states) to get an old bike from another country and register it under the veteran motorcycle rules. Then the import tax is very low. But it has to be more than 35 years old.
So can I get a good, fun, reliable and cheap bike that is that old and what am I looking at?
Enfield bullet from the british isles?
Old beemer from germany?
Which models would be good?
I am more for dirt roads than tarmac and high speed is not as important as versatility. Reliability or easy of repair is important. I am not a good mechanic, but I enjoy trying (-:
I would prefer not to pay more than 2000Euro.
