Seeking Advice on Selling or Shipping Motorcycles from Cape Town to Kenya

[Simone Caccio]

Hi, a friend and I are planning a motorcycle trip from Nairobi to Cape Town. Our main issue is deciding what to do with the bikes once we reach Cape Town. We have two options:

• Sell them in South Africa at a lower price than their actual value (either after importing and registering them in SA or for off-road use).
• Ship them back to Kenya (since they are registered in Kenya).

Is there anyone in this group who could recommend a dealership that might advise us on how to import and sell the bikes? Or perhaps suggest a cost-effective contact for shipping?

The bikes are 250cc and worth about $1,600 each, and the current shipping options are more than half the price of the bike.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
