I've read that decent oil is pretty easy to find, especially at Total gas stations in French speaking countries. It wouldn't be top-of-the-line synthetic oil, but should do. I'd carry a quart or two at a time if I don't get the rebuild.

Yes, at this point another bike looks like a good idea. It's too bad because this bike seems to be a good choice in every other way, and the bike market I'm looking in (Ireland) doesn't have too many options. Perhaps a Transalp or F650GS.
Will reach out to the buyer today on price. Thanks for your input.
