Wanted 2003 640 Adv

Does anyone know where there is a 2003 640 Adv for sale?

I keep missing the few I find and finding no few I would rather have missed!!!

I'm looking for a bike in good condition with a service history and relatively few miles (less than 10000 ideally).

Cheers,

Dave

There was one on www.biketrader.com a few days ago. At about £4995 I think. They are hard to come and as you know only made for one year....

Worth looking for... mine has been fantastic for the 14,000 miles I've done it - about 10 of which were in Africa.

Good luck with you search !

Thanks for that,

This bike has been for sale with the dealer for over 1 year, I went to look at it 8 months ago, and again recently. He Won't budge an inch on the price and whilst its a nice bike, its above top dollar for what it is. Hence the fact its still not sold!!! I have around £4000, £4500 at a push. When they do come up for sale I keep missing them, but only just....!!!!! If I keep goin I know I'll get one eventually!!!

Dave

I reckon £4000-£4500 is quite a good price for a 2003 with hardly any miles on it. I got mine with just 800 miles on the clock and paid £4250...... BUT I had to go to Glasgow to get it.... then rode it all the way back to London in the snow!

I would have paid another two or three hundred quid to avoid that !

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
