I have this week bought myself a new KLR650 in Cape Town. Cost me £3,728 after currency change costs before sorting springs etc.
My brother is going to use it for a year to run it in and flush out any teething issues so it's ready for my 2016 trip. I decided to buy now since RSA are adopting Euro regulations on emissions so this is the end of the line for the KLR in RSA as it was in Europe a decade back.
Ideally I'd like to import it to the UK at the end of the trip but I am not sure yet whether this will be practical. I am going to post separately on that now. If not I'll either sell in Egypt or ship back to RSA.
The big trip, whilst still a long way off, feels a bit more real now! :-)
