A 2003 Dakar with warmers, ABS, top box, new rubber in MINT condition, 16,500km on the clock. With Jaco at GS Traders that I completely trust. Asking R51,000. Yes, high price but it's esentially a new bike.

Thoughts please chaps?

Price is not that high. No extras fitted?? Service History??

Decent bike for not too much money. Sold my Dakar for R45000 with 4 times that kilos on.

 

BUY!!!

Yes, service history. Not too worried as I'm carrying across all extras from  a Dakar I have.

My 2c worth If you intend selling the bike over a short term a high price could be a drawback BUT if you are going to keep it for a few years the High price will have a much lesser impact when you sell later on so only worry about the high price if you intend not keeping it for long.
