Hello
I agree with motordude. Do not worry about age but with km. On a trans africa trip you going to clock up quite a few hard km. So buying low km bikes, reducing the risk for mecanical problems seems advisable. Hondas DOCH engines seems to cope with many km quite well, i think.
Getting a bike from germany is a possibility it is cetanly cheaper than many other countries. But it is a huge country, and traveling around loking for two bikes is probarbly not going to be cheap.And then you may have problem with registration.
But if you have an "sommerhus" in Sweden. Buying a used bike there, and not taking it to Norway seems like the easiest solution. Should not be a problem either. There seems to bee quite a few low km dominators on the market over there. Look at www.blocket.se
Geting a carnet is no problem in Norway as long as you have the ovnership papers in your name. It is horrendous exspensive tough..
Frode
