I have had a look at the stock at Tristar from time to time but I think that the UK option of a good used bike will probably be cheaper with the added advantage of the trip through Europe which I wish to do any way.
Cheers!

Certainly, import in Saudi should not be an issue, but I have no idea about things in UK.
Right now there is for sale in Jeddah 1) Used GS Adventure with 14000 kms, Akrapovic, BMW Adv side cases etc for SR 50K. 2) Also a regular GS with only 400kms, with lowered suspension, seat and BMW vario cases for SR. 55K. I think both bikes are 08 models.

Hi Haroon, I am in Riyadh and had the same thought, to bring my bike from the UK to KSA - I could fly it but a ride would be so great. But my bike is 9 years old - is there an age limit on importing a bike?
I looked into buying a bike here but I don't want to buy a new one - where are those ones you mention in Jeddah - are they private sales or a shop?
Many thanks and hope to meet you.
Peter

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.
