    Hi,

    I'm looking for a touring enduro, preferably from as close to Leeds as
    possible, since I don't have a car or a bike at my disposal at the
    moment. I don't know exactly what make and model the bike should be,
    so all offers are considered.
    Here are a few bikes I though of: BMW F650 GS or Dakar or R80 GS,
    Suzuki DR 600 or 350(I'm told luggage racks can be fitted), Honda
    Africa Twin or NX650 Dominator.

    I have quite a good idea what the bike should be like:
    -An touring bike that can go off-road
    -Power itself is not an issue if the bike will take me with a tent
    and the rest of my touring necessities where I want to go.
    -Mid- to lightweight, to me BMW 1150GS is too pricy and heavy. Getting
    to the end of that small road is way more important than making those
    500 kilometers per day.
    -Easy enough to maintain. Thus ABS of a BMW are a minus to me.

    I know the qualities above are very general in nature. I've listed
    them because a similar minded person as I, selling his/her bike can
    associate all of them with the bike for sale.

    I'm 182 cm tall and of light build.

    If you want to contact me by phone, the number is
    07793 683514


    PS. Thanks a lot, Ian, for reminding me about the price differences
    between Finland and the UK. I checked the prices last fall and I
    didn't find them that different. I don't know what I was thinking.
    Thank you.


    Regards

    Antti
