hi,

I'm going to fulfill my lifetime dream and visit New Zealand in 6 weeks and I'd like to buy or rent a dual purpose bike, to experience your wonderful country. I will stay in NZ for 8 weeks.
For this purpose I'm looking for a cheap dual purpose bike. It should have between 200 and 650ccm. Reg and WOF should also be available. I want to ride tracks like the Rainbow Road, so good tires were nice.
The bike can be old but should be in a good condition.

I will arrive in Auckland at the end of February.

I hope someone can help me.

Thank you.

Cheers, Patrick

Hi,
thanks for answering. Yes, I know these bikes and I know, and kind of love, the rotax engine.
Unfortunately I had some issues with my Aprilia, so I don't know if this would be the right bike for a two month trip. Like I experienced Aprilias are great character bikes but not as reliable like I'd like to have them for my trip.
Thanks for your offer and good luck for selling it. If I'd live in NZ and had enough time to take care of the bike, I would buy it instantly.
Best wishes,
Patrick

Have a fossick through THIS (http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/dual-purpose) lot.
If nothing comes of it you can hire my TDM for an exorbitant amount of money. Euros accepted in lieu of NZ $.
