Here is more info on the bike. For those not familiar with the Dakar it differs from the F650GS in the following, giving it better off-road capability

Longer and adjustable travel suspension
Skinny 21" front wheel
Higher ground clearance
Seat height of 34 inches

I shipped the bike from the UK in 2019 with approx 24K on the clock and have used it for yearly rides around SA since then (except pandemic 2020).The Rotax twin spark engine is very robust and very frugal, always delivering 70-75 mpg. It has BMW vario panniers with rear luggage plate and has been fitted with an after-market centre stand for ease of maintenance. The tires are Mitas E-07s with about 6000 miles of use left. A collection of essential elec/ mech spares is included in the inventory.

The bike has been maintained to a high standard and has had the following work done during its time here

1. New headstock bearings
2. New water pump
3. New chain/ sprockets
4. Front forks dropped and serviced
5. Valve clearances checked/ adjusted

If you are familiar with the F650GS you will recognise items 1 and 2 as known issues with this model.

Ownership transfer can be done online if you can supply a UK address for the 'Registered Keeper'. Alternatively/ additionally the bike can be ridden throughout SA under a notarised 'Poder' which is the way the majority of travel bikes change hands.

The bike is currently scheduled to be shipped back to Europe from Santiago in March so selling it is Plan B.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
