buying a sportbike in Spain?

[Raf-Pol]

Hi, I'm moving to Spain around August/September and I'll be there for a few months. Does anyone know where's the best place to look for a used sportbike?
I'll be in the "Bolnuevo, Mazarrón" area on the south east of Spain.
I tried looking on ebay.es but there are hardly any bikes on there. Are there any more popular sites online where I can look?
Or maybe the newspapers are a better way of finding something?
any help appreciated

Might be worth having a chat with Mick at: http://www.bikesdelsol.com
I don't know him but have heard he's an alright bloke, used to instruct with ESS.

I'm also moving to Spain next Spring.

TBH mate, I'll be taking mine with me in a Van, along with everything else I own ..

Easiest option all round.

Better the devil you know.

Buy an old transit for £800 these days.

I'll be moving from Poland and I'm not sure how long I'll be staying there. If the prices were ok, I'd just buy a bike with mot and tax, or whatever they have and I'd sell it before I leave. I'm not sure I'll be staying in Europe after my trip to Spain, so I'm not really considering the option of buying a van and coming back to Poland to sell it and the bike

I looked on ebay and I couldn't find any reasonably priced bikes in the area I'll be in. That's why I thought there must be some other websites where I can look, because I always thought that in a country with that kind of climate, there would be tons of bikes and they would be fairly priced

I think the ones you posted are quite a bit more expensive than the same models here in Poland or GB

edit: I took a better look at the R6 and it seems ok , but right now I'm looking for sites I can look at in a few weeks, because I doubt the same bikes will be for sale in a month and a half

just incase anyone ever has the same problem, I give a link to a site I found:

there are way more bikes than on ebay.es

Just come back from spain, you needent waste your money on leathers over there no one wears em lol its to hot. i couldnt believe but everyone has a 50cc ped an wear these shat helmets an its mostly women tazin em ( fit women).

[rene]

yeah because we all wear leathers to look cool...

I noticed that in france, the place was dominated by mopeds and no one gave a crap about wearing decent protective clothing. It is proper hot tho, you would cook if your wore a leather jacket so i only half blame them!

[rene]

be alot cooler once your 6 feet under

[RedexRobB]

Yeah that is true! Id rather cook in my jacket than cook in hospital with missing skin!

I am moving to spain in the next couple of months aswell, been looking for zxr400 and cant find a any allthough i did find a 1992 for 3000 euros, the bike over there are ten times the price, so i thinking of buying one here and taking it over, costs 250 to take the bike over, anone know how much it costs to register the bike in spain?

Also where i am most dont wear helmets never mind leathers. And ye theres a shed load of 50cc bikes.

I Think i would wear my jaket to but i cant help thinkin i would soon be not wearin it cos the heat say if your goin to work you dont wana be all hot an sticky.

on another note the roads and areas aint as built up as britain thoe so the chances of hittin a lampost are minimal but the roads dont have kerbs either so its dirt sliding after that.
