Importing bikes from Europe

Wouldn't suprirse me.if they were in better nick over there lok.
If you get any engine troubles then open a thread here I might be able to help.
I swear by those engines. They are Austrian made after all. Raced in.the Super Teen 125 series against proper GP bikes like Honda RS125.
Obviously in the MX they are restricted so they are not as powerful. But if.you so wish you could return it to factory power as I am.

@Biker_123 How did you get the bikes over here, did you use an import company or collect them yourself???
@CYBER-NINJA on both occasions I used a company one via eBay and can't remember the other one but both found me the bike I wanted and it was straight forward process to register them here the x2 main things are the nova number and the v5 or dating certificate so make sure you get those if you go ahead and you can't go wrong with getting it on a uk plate. I agree I imported because the bikes where in far better condition than what I could find here they where immaculate! Those mx 125's look great far superior than the dtr from what I've heard
Every problem has a solution

@Biker_123 Yeah they sure do look a lot more cared for. Plus there's also the added bonus of the Euro vs GBP exchange rate. So you can get more bang for your buck so to speak. I've found 2 importers on ebay;
http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/m4motorcycles?_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2754
http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/unit5motos?_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2754
Was it one of these that you used bud??
SEDUCED BY THE DARK SIDE!!!

Oh I don't know if the MX will do that to you in stock trim.
A road legal crosser will do that to you though.
Naturally crossers take a bit more of a beating.
I do know someone who is selling their YZ125 Supermoto Road Legal

@CYBER-NINJA Yeah lol. He hasn't used it in years and I don't think he is going to use it any time soon lol.

@MIGHTYMAN I'm not sure to be honest. When I last spoke to him it was around the £1600 mark. Give OR Take. I can't remember.
He hasn't put it on the market yet anyway but if anyone's interested I can let him know and that might make him put it up for sale. As said he hasn't used it in well over a year so it's just pointless having it. I think he wants another Aprilia as that suited his, once every few weeks, riding style. He liked the fact he could go places on the RS, where the YZ tops out at like 70, the Aprilia will cruise at 70.

. I have a friend who may be keen. He's been reluctant to buy one so far because of all the crap mangled up bikes people seem to sell!
