Looking for a motorcycle for first Africa adventure!
 

Hello!

I am planning on being in Africa by the end of November and am also planning to make my way around Lake Victoria, solo.

I am looking for a bike, no more than 450cc.
Anyone have any leads on bikes in East Africa, or any where in the sub-sahara?

Thank you!

Monica

This guy is selling his transalp ( ok it's more than 450cc) in Malawi.

Thanks for the info.

Also you can buy chinese motorbikes for less than $1000 in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda. They are 125ccm or 150ccm and should last for a while.

Advantage being - there are thousands of them down there. So they can be repaired everywhere. Parts are available cheaply everywhere. And the bike is easy to sell once you are done. They can be bought by foreigners and the keen seller will get you registration and compulsory insurance within 2 or 3 days.
People ride them with the whole family sitting on it plus a few crates of Coke. So carrying capacity is also there :)
