Hi, if you want to know some price of second hand motorbikes,
take a look at : patiodemotos.com
good site ,but a lot of bigger bikes (more expensive).

Or have a look at : mercadolibre.com
Website with a lot of smaller cheaper bikes (100cc/500cc)
Good luck.

And if you are riding your bike en ecuador amazone ,drop me a note.
Your welcome to visit me there.

Am bumping this post as I have finally arrived in Ecuador and want to get on the road!

Hola,

I am due to finish up a 25,000km tour of South America in Ecuador in a few weeks. Unfortunately shipping my bike home to Australia (where it is registered) is much more expensive than I anticipated.

The bike is an 02 KLR650. It will have around 50,000kms on the clock. It is the Californian model, and so has nice stocky front forks and a 14 litre fuel tank. I have upgraded the rear suspension and added big bash guards and heated hand grips. I have replaced the balancer chain tensioner with an upgrade from ´eagle mike´. I have also relocated all fuses down to an easily accesable fuse blade box.

As I was planning to take the bike home, I have maintained it well and it is in very good condition. It was garaged for its entire life prior to this trip.

$2500 Australian dollars is what I am asking for. The bike will run for another 50,000 kms easily.

It includes two home made 35l panniers with mounting racks. Well built and have been perfect for travelling.

For images of the bike, rack and panniers visit Bridging Gaps and go to ´gear and equipment´. The bike is Nicks, not the other bike, Adams. These images are taken before shipping over to South America.
