Wanted Tourer For NZ December 2019
Hi all,

I am travelling to NZ at the start of NZ for two years and want a reliable tourer to do some serious riding and for it to be my main mode of transport.

I've been looking at ST1100's, reliable, comfortable and plenty of storage for all my traveller bulk!

I have been looking on TradeMe, but thought I would reach out here to see if there were any recommendations.

Spec wanted here:

Under $5000
Over 600cc (Im 6ft so needs to be a comfortable)
Preferably under 120,000kms
Must have panniers
Location can be anywhere, but I fly into Auckland.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Jack

bike in NZ
Did NZ last November on our own bike. but there were plenty to buy there. We did 2 up on a Suzuki DL650 which was up to the task and more agile on some of the country roads. Worth looking at Colemans Suzuki in Auckland who hire bikes which might help in short term. Get insurance online from Kiwibike Insurance.

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.
