    Its super cheap and ready for a lot more adventures. Extremely reliable as long as you keep gas in it. Has Ireland license plate. Located in Bulgaria currently. I have a guy in Ireland who will transfer the title to your name using his address. The bike comes fully loaded and ready for adventure. I'm even gonna throw in a $hit ton of extras, including riding gear, an REI tent, tools, spares, luggage, etc. Just needs a new rear tire. Its at MotoCamp and they can order and install a tire for you. Yours for $2750. Seriously. I'm buying a new bike in September, so this awesome bike is ready for a new owner. Great way to explore Yurrip on the cheap!

    Yeap but it was well used and coming up on that German eol crap that they put older cars through.

    no way to get it to the US. Diesel with a manual.

    So we need to go to Ireland first for the title, then Bulgaria to pick up the bike.

    Honda AT are like a tank. I've been riding 91 Honda Transalp in Belgium that I bought from an American who went back to USA.

    What year and about km does it have?

    Where are you living now?

    In 2024, it will be 25 years old so I can actually bring it back to USA for free and register in the states.

    I'm in Montana. Ya, my backup plan is to bring it back over here. Storage is only 15 euros a month in Bulgaria, so I have time on my side :D

    Europe is practically free compared to the US. Best exchange rate in 20 years.

    this is interesting since I am living in European but Bulgaria is quite far from Brussels. If I can get the timing right to go get it, it could work.

    So if I buy this bitch, can we do some tours together in safer places? I’m not experience like you and the idea of riding through the Ukraine during war times like you wanted to do has ZERO appeal to me.

    Also if I buy this, you have to buy ninja 400’s for our return to old fart racing.

    Have you treated it like your rentals, and everything with a scratch has been repaired? Send me some pictures, I am actually interested.

    Who knows I may die next week so I need to have some fun.
