Honda Baja XR250 for sale South Africa

Silver 1998 Baja Honda for sale. Excellent condition. This bike has a 14 litre tank taking the range to well over 300 k's, a wider seat, electric start. Also the tyres are almost new, chain and sprokets have about 15 000 k's left in them. A K and N air filter. Also a few spares, throttle cable, tool kit, pannier racks, soft ortlieb panniers. Also female owner.

We are in South Africa and heading back to Oz and want to sell this amazing bike as its not economical to send it home.

We are looking for 17 000 Rand(south Africa)

We can forward on photos of the bike if interested.

Cheers
Amy

excess baggage

I can come with the bike but it will cost! Although I still think Rob is thinking he is getting rid of excess baggage.
Anyway, we are in Jo'burg, South Africa if anyone is still interested in the bike, they can get us on
0765775466.
If you would like to see photos, please email me directly on drwalrus"at"hotmail.com.

Amy I have a Southafrican friend who might know somebody immigrating to Australia. I'll give that a try and get back to you. You need a bike to ride on Fraser buddy. .

I used to ride one of these in the dunes here in the UAE, Amy, having removed those big chunky lights that the 'Baja' came with. I could ride it up the highway to get to the best dunes then go straight off across the sand. It really is a versatile bike: reliable, tough, fun and very competent.

Good luck selling it for a fair price. Yours looks like a great traveling bike.
