But the main issue is if your bike breaks in the Great Sandy / Gibson / Tanami Deserts the recovery costs will be more than the bikes value. Think of paying a tow truck for four days straight….
There’s a few YouTube vids of bikes breaking and the issues they faced getting it back.
Just one other thing, due to the costs of freight, you could buy and sell here. Just need an address to register it to and a few of us on here can help with that.
Have fun.

Hey Homer,
Thx for the advice ..... for the Australian part I will still have to figure out when to go where to avoid the big wet and also heat .... do you have an advice when to go to WA ? ....
I think about temporarily joining tours or team up for the tough stuff like Great Sandy / Gibson / Tanami .... read the books ... watched the vids...
As my time is limited and I really like to be on my own bike which I can rely on - I decided not to buy/sell locally - but thought about it too in the beginning
cheers
Jonas
