From Yamaha cruiser to BMW 1200GS

[cooneyr]

Our 'rescue Ryan' is getting a little worn down these days.

Sing out when you get here and I'm sure some of us local adventurers will be happy to show you around a bit.

Dont go giving him any ideas. I dont rescue greater than 650cc BMW's anyway

Like TA said though let us know when you are here and we will be more than happy to show you around.

I am a kind of cruiser fan, but it will be pity to ride just on tarmac in NZ.

My good friend own Honda's Africa Twin 750 and I like it a lot (of course, I spit every time on it, but only to annoy my buddy). No electronics - pure mechanic which you can fix with wrench & hammer.
On the other side, BMW is everything as Africa, but much sophisticated - but this is just my feeling and opinion. Of course sophisticated = very expensive.

But I am glad that there are KTM-ers, TransAlp-ers ond oth-ers that enyoj in AdvRides - so keep one place for me (or two if I convert my wife from bicycle to
bike )

Nobody seems to have mentioned it yet but a place to start looking for bikes is TradeMe. There are a couple of africa twins on there at the moment along with a reasonable selection of just about every other adventure bike. Keep an eye on the dual purpose section.

Something else to whet your appitite - check out my web site ADVRoutes.
