Hi all
I am selling my Africa twin because have another which have since made into desert rally bike and do not need 2nd Africa twin. 
I have removed the old White, Green and Yellow plastics as they where cracked and scratched so replaced them with my spare excellent Black and Silver from my other Africa twin due to having to remove them in order to fit the rally fairings and rear fuel tank covers as part of the rally bike build. You now get 1996 RD07A bike looking like 2002 RD07A bike!
It has been fitted with new output shaft at some point so you will now have no spline failure on the front sprocket which is common on all Africa Twins through the range of these bikes.
MOT ran out in May this year and nothing needed doing to the bike and there were no Advisories. will put the bike through another mot for the new owner if he/she so wishes.
Mot history is 1) 13/04/10 :49,546. 2) 04/06/2011: 52,130  3) 18/09/2012: 53,586 4) 2013 SORN: 5) 14/08/14. purchased the bike at approx 54,500 miles on the clock with the intention of getting it ready for Europe trip but was called back to Iraq Afgan where was working so it was stored in the garage. 6) 16/05/15: 55,580 mot'd it and used it for the some ride outs and Mega rides around Devon Cornwall. Been dry stored in my garage with little use since. Mot run out in May.
I have no servicing history with the bike but since in my ownership the bike was serviced every months by my old Regiments Servicing Bay REME mechanics (surprising what few beers and coffee will get you!). All filters and oils were always changed regardless of how long they had been in their.

Not so good points

The Africa twin will only be used from time to time if left at home as have other daily riders so the bike needs another good home.
There may be few things have forgotten to mention but all in all the bike is great bike and just needs fresh mot and it will be ready to take you around the world with all your luggage!
If you need other photos please send me your email address and I'll send them across to you.
Cash on collection only 
Will be advertising the bike locally so will remove if sold before auction ends.
Happy bidding
