    Just put a deposit down for mine, due to arrive in 6-7 weeks.

    Only $17,990 ride away in Australia.

    Is that Australian dollars. If so that would make it 23,557 NZD at todays exchange rate which is $2000 more than the NZ price

    That would be correct, but it doesn't really make sense to spend $18k on a bike and leave it in a country where you don't live. I have a heavily modified TRX850 for road/track duties when I'm in NZ.

    I'm a "technical professional" at a Uranium Mine I'm not sure if that means I'm technically professional or professional in a technical way... but it pays pretty well. I don't quite earn as much as Julia Gillard, but I'm almost there!

    Reason I asked if it was AUD or NZD is before I got my Suzuki I was looking at importing a ZX10r from OZ as the bikes are usually quite a bit cheaper over there. The 10r would have been around $5000 cheaper at the time for the ABS version

    I think it's easier to ship Aus to NZ than it is the other way around. Though I've only looked NZ to Australia, and it doesn't make sense unless the vehicle has sentimental value as it doesn't save any money over buying the same equivalent vehicle in Australia after you've paid for shipping and the government has taken their share too.

    R6 Kid,
    have you got the bike yet. I've sent you a pm actually but if you have please share your impressions.

    I went to the launch tonight and all bar it passing a test ride, once the demo is ready, I will have one next week.

    Stunner in the flesh and great sound. Surprisingly comfy, well comparatively to sportsbikes. Going to look great when the MV handguards, heated grips and hard luggage arrive.

    Nope, cashed in my deposit and took a round the world trip including the IOM TT with the money I'd started putting aside for it.
