R80 G/S from Cape Town to Nairobi

Hi. I have a kenyan bike kept in Cape Town. I rode her from Nairobi. She is from 1992 but looks new. The former owner brought her from Germany just to keep in a garage for ages. I did 11,000 km and she is about 40,000. Nothing for that engine. Is better than new because it´s been tested on real roads and everything working bad has been fixed.

I can´t sell her properly because the logbook is in the Kenyan border to Tanzania near Arusha. I can ride her back again, but that is not interesting because I have done it recently. I consider to sell or ride myself her from Nairobi to Europe. What I´m looking for is someone who buys her with weak paperwork or just ride the bike to Kenya to live the trip but not buying it. In that case, we can arrange some kind of warrantee.

I have received few emails recentely about this bike. I am sorry to say that is not in Cape Town anymore. As nobody wanted to ride her, I had to do it by my self. I went back to Africa and had a lot of fun riding her to Spain, where she is right now.



This pic is taken in Gijon, Asturias, a nice place to visit
