Arrow 2 Bikes Wanted - Anywhere in Europe

Hi all

Two Aussies keen to buy two bikes.

We fly into London start of July 2009 and would prefer to buy them in London, but are travelling all over Europe so can come to you where ever you are!! Our objective is to purchase the bikes before we get there if possible so we can hit the ground running first week of July.

We're very open minded, with three key points driving our purchase:

1. Reliable
2. Prefer something capable on bad roads/trails but is primialiy suited to tarmac where it will be more than 80% of the time.
3. No more than 3,000 pounds (3,400 Euro) MAXIMUM SPEND - prefer to spend half this much if possible.

Bikes considered so far in order of preference
1. Any transalp
2. BWM GS (i.e. F650GS
2. DR 650se or DR 400
3. BMW 80 G/S

Please contact me on bally@live.com.au

Kind regards

Chris

Yeah, they look great, but think they may be a little small for the trip. Leaning more towards something around 650cc. Anyone?
