    Africa Twin for sale

    1997 RD-07 Africa Twin - Silver (with black / red)
    Good bits...

    44k miles
    Tax until March 2012
    MOT until April 2012 (No advisories)
    SW Motech engine bars (black)
    Givi Pannier racks
    Metal aftermarket chain guard
    Metal dashboard / clock surround type thing.
    Quill Evo2 Exhaust (i think it sounds fantastic... not too loud, you can always remove the baffles if thats your sort of thing)
    Oxford heated grips - in full working order.
    New front brake pads (about 500 miles ago) - plenty left in the back pads
    New chain and sprockets (less than 500 miles ago)
    Michelin Anakee 2's, front and rear fitted less than 700 miles ago so 1000's of miles left in them.
    Hel Braided brake lines
    __________________________________________________ _____
    Bad Bits...
    Small shallow dent in the tank, small crack in righthand fairing (both highlighted in the pictures).
    12v socket to left of dashboard installed by previous owner has never worked (may just need wiring correctly?).
    Seat cover isnt fitted fantastically well towards the front but its perfectly waterproof and usable... probably no more than 5mins work with a staple gun.
    One exhaust heat guard is missing, the other is fixed with a jubilee clip.
    __________________________________________________ _____
    More good bits! ...
    Bike will come with the following...
    Givi Panniers - 36l i think. one has a crack in the back, but does not affect its attachment to the bike or its waterproofing.
    Givi topbox... this is a large box, plenty big enough for 2 full face helmets, and has a rack on top, which i have found to be massively useful.
    Hein Gericke "enduro" style tankbag complete with side saddlebag type thingies. The tankbag zips onto a base harness that i leave on the bike (pictured with and without bag on)
    Spare brand new Facet fuel pump.
    Baglux tank cover in the bikes colours - this is missing a connector. for this reason ive never used it, but i suspect a decent bodger could get this fixed and fitted quite easily and it would look great.
    Haynes manual.
    __________________________________________________ _____
    The bike is mechanically excellent. Great runner, starts first time every time. Its done me proud over the last 3 1/2 years.
    Whoever buys this will be getting a great bike, and with all the extras included will be getting a full setup ready for anything.
    __________________________________________________ _____

    Price is £2500.

    Re: Africa Twin for sale

    Hmm, seems ive been somewhat undercut by Tomodans for sale post.
    Will consider reasonable offers lower than the asking price above.

    Re: Africa Twin for sale

    Sorry mate, didnt see your post before mine went up. Perhaps I should increase my price to match yours to level the field?

    Seriously though, I suspect they will appeal to different buyers mine has lower mileage and is a bit newer, yours has more goddies on it so we should be ok?

    Have a free bump as compensation for the undercut!

    Re: Africa Twin for sale

    Hmm, maybe i misjudged the value of the bike, given how quickly Tomodans sold.
    Lowering the price to £2500... if it doesnt sell at that, ill consider keeping it.

    I dont think you have under valued it, mine was priced to sell and happened to be the colour the guy wanted and was just up the road from him. Yours looks to be a well sorted bike and it will go, there is a load of junk out there so goodones will sell. Good luck with the sale!
