Who wants a new bike imported from US cheap?

[barty5]

Ok so looking at heading back to NZ around July here's the deal I have a car i'm bringing back (would love to bring back bike but finances won't allow )
But you could with the car and our personal stuff this will require a 40ft container there will be around 10ft of this container left empty.
So if you'd like a new bike way cheaper than they are in NZ and can find a shop online in Connecticut (east Coast ) there are quite a few as long as you pay for the bike and taxes etc related once back in NZ ( might be some small other fees at this end need to be looked into ) for and extra few $250US you can help fill the container will be the cheapest shipping as its normally 800-$1000 to ship a bike.

If your keen look into it all and let me know in saying that if there is anything else anyone would like to buy and can get shipped to my place it can also be put in container just let us know what it is etc see what we can work out.

what do you use for second hand stuff around you, craiglist? or ebay, i would like a KX500 but would have to see if there are any around you, being east coast they were not as popular as in the desert states,

seen a few pop up on craigslist that what I normally use Ebay is good once you have the bike / car for bits as you said normally on the east coast
there are a couple on there at the moment little bit of a drive but something could be sorted im sure

98 ish on to the last of them, not really looking but if the right one came up at the right price, want one with the 46mm forks on, will have to look when they changed,

[Stylo]

Pretty sure 97 was the new fork, I bought one new 8800 retail in NZ.

i think your right, as they came out on the 125/250 in 96, and the 500 a year later, it was really the last upgrade the 500 got other than graphics,

Get one pre 89 so you can go VMXing!

[scott411]

have thought about it, but its not really my era, i had only just got onto 80's by 1989, if they started a pre 99 class then maybe, it will get there one day,

tracks do look cool tho, and dont seem to get cut up,

Lol. Yep. Great for old fat lazy fuckers like myself. Much easier on the bod. I'd like an American model with the big conventional forks. A very nice one came up for sale just the other week. If you're at all interested, I'll give you a blast on the SR when I finally get it sorted. Should be nice to ride for its age. Feels like a KX125 to sit on. It's tiny.

Speaking to the chappy in Brisbane that has a fair few works bikes, one of them being the same year as mine, he says it's really really smooth with a very nice power delivery. Can't wait to ride it. Feels nothing like a KX500 to sit on that's for sure.

Barty you still taking orders for parts in the US and bringing them back to NZ ?
I'm after a Dynoport exhaust for my 1984 KTM 250MXC engine type 543 They're in up state New York and list the pipe at $259.95 us , I know the freight will likely be half of that if I had it shipped to NZ so here's were you come in ? I'll pay you for ur time and trouble , thx Kevin.

Sure we can sort out something NY is the next state over but a 5 he drive each way best idea if you want one buy and have them send it to me postage won't be much. Other option would be sort out what it is you want via email with them put $$ in my nz account and I can buy and have it shipped here sure they would happily dose visa etc either way not to hard.

[ktm84mxc]

Thx Barty waiting to hear back from Rich the maker of the Dynoport pipe with a freight cost to NZ , but I suspect I'll be using your services and the National Government wants to add GST on overseas purchases so you may be getting busy , Kevin.

[ktm84mxc]

Barty just heard back from Dynoport freight 125-150 US ouch , that makes it around 400 US $ in total . So all up say 550NZ . How much would it be for you to get and post back ? just weighing up my options at the moment.

[Crasherfromwayback]

My KX125 from NY just turned up. Very happy with it.

i would guess, since Barty is bringing in a container, he will be paying GST on at least some of the stuff in there, (cant see if being under $400) you maybe able to hide some stuff, but is it worth the risk?

It wouldn't be coming back in original packaging and a bit of crime that'lol clean off etc won't hurt it to look not new. Besides been out a country for 2 years so would just be part of our personal stuff as with every thing else coming home.

Barty when will you be returning to GodsZone as the pipe is not urgent , wud like it before X-mas as the VMX season kicks off around then.
A scotch brite pad can add wear marks with a few simple rubs on many things it's like "presto 2nd hand/used" .

No when we came up the Airforce had it alol packed and shipped for us only mechanical thing was a small portion of my workshop tools just enough to start building bikes once here.

[ktm84mxc]

Hi Barty that will work out great , can you email me at kingismith@xtra.co.nz ur NZ bank details or Facebook me them kev6784mxc , I bet you've got a lot to bring back ? It's amazing how much you collect over a short time.

[ronniethe5th]

Hi Barty. Do you still have any room? My father in law has a Norton ES2 lined up in New York, would be great to get it over in the corner of the container somewhere...
