2001 F650 ST / 18k miles for Africa Trip?
Hi all,
I'm planning a north/west Africa trip starting this September and am looking for a bike (short timeline I know).
I want something around 650cc, reliable, and not super heavy. Those are my main criteria. Not looking to go off road much if at all, just dirt roads. Looking to pay < 3000 euros, all said and done. Transalp seems pretty ideal given its low cost and reliability.
What do you think about a 2001 F650 ST with 18,000 miles? I know the ST is for street, but how would this hold up? I have a somewhat limited timeline, and the market in which I'm looking (Ireland; donedeal.ie) doesn't cough up a huge amount of bikes every day. The 650ST is one of them. Any thoughts and advice welcome, I'd really appreciate your perspectives!
Thanks!
