We get some Yamaha limited editions some MVs and Dukes but thats about all ...havent realy seen bimota in real life in NZ. As we are mainly japanese market....Originally Posted by tigerjacopo

i'd be surprised if you could...

When I turn the lights out in my garage at night I can't see my bikes.

i've got a mate who had two tesi's, nice toys too, you'd be amazed what's out there especially these days with the internet making it so easy to buy worldwide
Forum whore
Well my mates only got one. Took these to Hampton Downs ride days this year.

A more accurate title for your thread may be "bikes reputed to be in NZ but which don't get seen"
You may be surprised just what is tucked away - like the Tesi answer.
Name something you doubt is here & let's see what comes out....

any bimota db7's??im doubting it...............but then again i wasnt expecting to see the mgs01 either!

I was going to make a flippant comment like: "a nice Suzuki" but that would be rude and I have in fact owned a nice Suzuki.
We are pretty lucky here with the bike we receive compared to many other markets. I've read somewhere that our regulations basically allow any Japanese home market bike to come here with respect to noise, emissions etc.
Stuff like the new V-max is even available despite being a very small market for that ride.
As for the Italian exotics - pop down enough money and I'm sure you'll get one
Last of a dying breed
Any Munch Mammuths in NZ?

You may actually have hit on one that's not here.... One in Oz to my knowledge though.
Bimotas - there are a lot here, don't know about a DB7 - owners club should know.

I've never seen these in NZ...not saying there aren't any but I've never seen em.
Honda CB500
Honda NTV650
Yamaha FZR600
Yamaha YZF750
Yamaha Thundercat
Yamaha 600 Diversion
Yamaha FZ600 (early ones)
The metal is always nude.
Out of those ones, I've seen the NTV650 (Revere), FZR600 and 600 Diversion here.
Those early FZ600's were an FZ400 with an XJ600 motor in them for the USA market.

I owned a CB500 but that was a long time ago.
KBer Janno is currently selling her NVT650.
Another local KBer here owns or owned a Thundercat.
Deauvilles are around but Bluewing in their wisdom(?) don't bring them in. They seem to appear regularly on Trademe though, last time I looked there were several.
There was an NCR at the National Ducati Rally this year. I've only seen one Bimota but wouldn't know what model. We were at the Picton ferry terminal, the guy had just ridden it round the South Island.
You might expect to see exotica parked outside a cafe on Ponsonby Road but it's sometimes quite startling whats out on the farms after a good year.
