Hi Calvin -

See my recent post re KTM in Buenos Aires - the 640´s worth about 4000 GB pounds - which is ? roughly 5500 US dollars (I´ve no idea what the exchange rate is...). My mate´s wanting a bit more for his 990.

Hi ,
I am going to have a trip in December/January to Argentina and Chile with my Honda Transalp 600, red flame coloured wonderful!
The bike has 33.000Km and after my trip it will have more or less 10.000 Km more and it has been produced in 1999.
After the trip I will sell it , as I would like to avoid to pay the shipping expenses back to Europe
If somebody is interested please contact me even by pm

P.S.: The bike has Italian plate so It has to be investigated how paperwork has to be done for property transfer to your home country

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.
