- Honda XL650V Transalp
EN125cc Suzuki - 2014 Model for R9500
8500km - My son used it to commute to school and to work, and he has owned it since new.
Out of guarantee now. Overall in very good condition except for the rear plastic cover under the seat which got scratched by the top box bracket that broke (it was an aftermarket bracket for topbox and we chucked the bracket away and he has used a backpack ever since!).
This bike is excellent for a beginner, it is low, it is reliable (we did not experience any issues at all) and you can have a look on Gumtree. Some of them make it to well over 50 000km and still going strong!
It has got a new rear tyre as we did not like the OEM Nylon tyres. Rear has done 4000km and will probably go for another 10 000++
Front OEM still good.
No falls but only a side stand incident - bike fell over from the stand
it is fitted with a center stand, everything works just fine and she will fly through the roadworthy. :thumleft:
We are in Brits (50 km away from Pretoria) - You can pm me.
I will not courier this bike without the buyer having a look and test-ride around the block - I am sure you will be happy if you want this bike for your teen but I want you to make sure that this is what you want.
These bikes are now selling new for R17K + registered, so R9.5K is a bargain :deal: - it is slightly negotiable
Registration paper, licence in order and up to date. I do not feel comfy with someone riding a bike on my name (reg in my name) so I would either take it for road worthy if you want as part of the sale (cost R360 in Brits and is quick) and you can register right away or we fill in the forms and you do it withing the 21 days permitted - your choice
Ok here are a few photos
