Wanted: Africa Twin XRV750 or Super Tenere XTZ750

[cooneyr]

I've just sold the mighty DR650 It may be a decision I live to live to regret but you never know unless you experiance new things. Anyway I'm now after a Honda XRV750 Africa Twin or a Yamaha Super Tenere XTZ750 (prefer the XRV). If anybody out there know one for sale or about somebody who is ready for a change then I'm keen to hear from you.

I've got a jap bike importer looking for me as well so I'll hopefully have something in the not to distant future.

My current ride is a 50cc so I'm keen as mustard to find a new bike.

Cheers R

Good luck with your bike hunt. Sorry can't help, but the 50cc machine . . . funny how what I've been riding for a couple of years now makes sense to so many people & riders. Cheers.

There's a fueltank for an XRV750 on TM.
It's a start

Been on there alot longer than that, good luck on the hunt for an XRV my mate and I sold ours 3 months ago and the line was round the block with people wanting them, one guy offered me an extra grand if I pulled out of a deal with someone else.

When I decided to change bikes I was thinking I should have done it earlier given you two sold your bikes. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Fingers crossed the jap importer comes though for me if I cant find one.

P.S. hows the adventure? wanna sell it cheep

And maybe even longer than that - there was an XLV750 tank on Trade & Exchange when it was only a paper,maybe even before TM.I was onto it real quick as my tank was toast - but it was an XRV750 tank....grrrrr.

These are both "backstops" if I get really desperate. I'm in no rush at the moment so just keeping my eyes open and waiting as patiently as possible

For sure: Can't be in a rush on a 50cc moped

so just keeping my eyes open and waiting as patiently as possible

Anyone want to run a sweepstake on just how long Mr Cooney can be "patient" ?

My guess is about 3 days

At this stage he's only salivating anytime "KTM" is mentioned

But I'm picking that by the end of the week he'll be begging for anything with two wheels and a motor

[magicfairy]

I give him a bit longer, about 2 and a half weeks to find a bike, then 3 days of posts while he lets the KB community talk him into it. An extra day to convince the boss...(wife)
3 weeks all up
