some cheap deals
Hi There,
I have some friends from the U.K who have recently left Sydney heading south on two bikes they purchased second hand in Aus. For them (spending a year riding around the country) it was significantly cheaper to buy two second hand Suzuki DR400's. That was because shipping the bikes from the UK, customs clearance, carnets etc all added up very quickly. They expect to then export the bikes from Australia to New Zealand after a year and spend another 6 months there. The one thing I would say is that they purchased many of their "preparation" bits in the UK because they found them to be cheaper to buy it there and pay some excess baggage costs. The problem is that if your doing a fair bit of motorway riding the DRZ400's not so comfortable, but they are pretty cheap when compared to some other bikes on the market here. the benefit of buying the bikes here is you can leave it here while you go and come back again without any issues.
