It's true there's often one for sale somewhere in the world, the wonder of the internet, often in the UK or France but they're rarely ,if ever, under $20k Aus. They you've got to factor in freight from over there, GST and any other charges associated with importation, if any. A good example landed and ready for rego will cost a lot more than $20K. At least I hope so... Capt A. L.

At > least I hope so... Well yes, if only because you have to buy it overseas and then spend a year overseas with it. As they are a post-85 bike that's the only way. You might be able to pay to get someone to jump through the hoops to be able to certify it, but I think the year overseas is a better bet. Zebee

I'll tell you if that's the real deal in a week or so. Capt A. L. |
