Used bike in US/Can - websites needed

I´m looking into the possibilities of bying a used enduro bike in US or Cananada and drive it southwards. Can anyone recommend websites - e.g. portals for searching used bikes for sale, or websites of big used bike dealers on the west coast?

The Auto Trader in Canada is OK, just go to the motorcycle page after choosing your area and postal code. If you need a postal code try using T2P 2M5 which is downtown Calgary.

www.recycler.com (website for big used-stuff newspaper, ads are free, so lots of people sell things through it, is covers the Los Angelos area in California). Ads are usually text only.

Don't forget eBay...

Look at Vancouver or Calgary, easy to head south from there along the Pacific Coast Highway.

There wont be much available untill spring hits (April/May) but there are always a good swack of Dual Sports in there.

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.
