Not exactly VMX, sorry, but I'm looking for one of those silly Dakar Replica bikes they made in the 80's.
Transalp, Tenere, etc etc
Don't mind if it needs some tidying up, but it must be rideable now.
I'm in SA but happy to travel as far as Melbourne for one.
Budget is around $2k.
If anyone has one or knows of one I'd appreciate a pm or email.
Thanks

What about the 2k Transalp on ADV?? Looks like a very good buy?? :-\ I'd go grab it for if you want it mate.

Yeah, that one looks like would do fine. But I've been sending him pm's for a while now and get no replies, so I thought I'd widen the search.

Ah ok, I've sent him a message too. I'll let you know if I have any luck, gimme a shout if there's anything around my area and surrounds to be inspected/picked up. :)

PM sent big fella, 89 DR600 Dakar....mint....it's you all over.
-
Thanks Brendan.
I reckon Tatey's DR sounds good though. :)
pm sent.

No response as yet, and yes a big DR is much more your style! 8)

Nah, nothing yet and I reckon Tatey's is a bargain.
It's in mint condition and low kms.
But..... by the time I pay for transport, rego inspections, transfer etc etc. it might end up being more than I want to spend.
The point of it is a bit of a stop gap until I can get the 750 just like I want it.
Buggered if I know what to do........

Not quite rally replica, but there are two XT600s on Gumtree in Victoria within your price range:

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/morwell/motorcycles/1984-xt-600-has-37446-kms-learner-approved/1030350119
I'm tempted to get the blue one myself!

I've been getting bikes delivered to my door from qld for $250, if that makes the prospect better for ya let me know and I'll pass on the details. One of them with super low k's and in top nick is rarity for sure, I reckon you'll not be able to stop ya self in the end ;D ;). Oh and why all the worry about all rego crap, in just 30 days that bike is eligible for Vic club permit reg!!! ;)

I keep teasing the bugger....LOL.....it is a pretty neat bike.....I fell in love with it when I saw it....wasn't even looking for one put couldn't pass it up, I have only ridden it around the back yard a few times but I wont be able to ride it until I get my hip replacement and give that time to heal 100%....Tony's a good bloke and I know that's his fortay big adventure bikes.....the bugger came 3rd outright in the Safari on a Husky years ago, it would be going to a good home and when I heal I'll look for another one.

Can we see this sweet ride you speak of?? :)

Went and looked at a Dominator this morning at just a little less than Tatey's asking for his DR, but it was local and had rego.
What a waste of time! Puddle of oil under it, the throttle was disassembled as they tried to make it work. They out and out lied about the fuel capacity and the father and son team couldn't get their stories straight.
A warning sign should have been the "on-off, special" they made out of a PE 175 and RT1 engine and the story of how his FJ1100 wheelstands in every gear!!!!! :o
If only they knew how stupid they make themselves look..........
-
HA ha i know those guys tony, they told me that had an RT1 crank i needed, went over there last night and there was just a heap of shit on the floor and a DT360 case and a crank.......... i said FFS i came all this way to salisbury and its not even the right crank you said it was.
Didnt he have also a TT and klX out the front for sale ?
But your right the RT1 in the PE is a classic, probably most reliable ride though :O)
person to try is micael tucks he had at least 3 tenere i know of he was collecting as he traded them in from pitmans, and i know he is now into push bikes so they would be for sale, one had nos tanks and all, blue one white one and somthing else.

something different
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Moto-Morini-501-Camel-1985-/291022738436?pt=AU_Motorcycles&hash=item43c24e9404

That comes up for sale regularly by that seller. I guess it is too dear, looks ok to me if you like Morinis. I'm sure you know all about them Tony.
Cheers, Grahame
-
Actually, I've only ever seen one before.
I do like them. Any V-Twin off-roader has got to be a good thing! 8)
As for the price, I guess it's the same as anything else in this market.
Try and find another one for sale......... ;)
-
btw the search for another bike is off for a while.
Need to concentrate on work stuff and rebuild the trans in one of my cars.
I'll just spend some time enjoying my DR for a while and maybe have another look next year.
I know SON says that the DR is a big, fat heap of shit, but I like it.
It suits me.... ;D

My missus says that about me too, but she likes me ;D ;)
