Buying a bike in WA

Hey guys,

I'm flying to Oz for a year in May 2011 and I plan on buying a bike within the first month. I was thinking of going to Perth first but I'm shocked by the very tiny amount of bikes for sale on bikepoint/tradingpost, am I just not looking in the right place? I'm looking for anything used like a XT250 or a KLR below 5k$ (need some type of offroading capabilities, top speed is a non-issue).

I'll head for Sydney if I can't find anything but would much much rather start west. Thanks so much for the help poeple, it is very appreciated.

Hi Th,

there are also other websites like bikesales.com.au. Just google for second hand bikes and you should find some.

And yes, the quokka is a good starting point if you know what you're looking for. However, the paper version has a lot more adds than online so you might need to buy one once you're here.

Cheers,
T

Hi,
why not starting with a wanted motorbike ad in the Quokka. Doesn't cost anything, leave your e mail address and tell the market excactly what you want and your price range.
Took me 6 weeks till a finally found what I wanted, so better start now.
Good luck.

Cheers Helgo
