    Give motorhaus a call and ask for Kerry Jeffs, have a chat to him, may be able to import one to your requirements, and I think he delvers around the country, better check, Mainly deals in Dukes and Harleys but brings in the odd jappa, I got a Kwaka off him recently, great deal, I love it.

    Be carefull getting a bike that has been in storage or not used, be prepared to reco the brakes and flush and replace all fluids, lubricate all cables and moving parts. This includes jap imports.

    Been there done that.

    well everything cosmetic.
    swing arm.
    forks [easily replaced with cbr600f3 ones]
    instruments.
    front brake line.
    new tyres.
    exhaust is completely stuffed.
    subframe is past it.
    ummm thats all i can think of without crying on the keyboard and electricuting myself.....

    RGV looks good, but he has not replied to the "will you get reg & WOF" question. At least the VTR people are willing to do that.
    I always treat TradeMe with caution. Some people are a tad "economical" with their answers.
    Good luck with the bike hunt
    The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.
