Just found one for sale :smt007

Not to expensive either but my kitty jar is empty :smt010 Bloody typical :smt011

The shop not even close for me to go and have a squint at it either - it's just all Pete Tong :smt013

:smt016 http://www.goobike.com/bike/stock_8900168B30091102004/

That's about £1,310

Fitted with a BEET "Kit" Steel system and of course FCR's

MM!

Is that yellow wire from the ignition pick up some kind of clever ignition of just a yellow cover on the wires ?

Seat unit looks strange

Mr Man could you get a whole bike sent over to the UK? If someone was buying said bike?

i think that 'yellow wire' is a coolant hose from the rad to a home made expansion tank looking at the other pics

Sure can , but as a complete bike your best of coming here.

A) You'll save 5% on the shop tax
B) You'll save 17.5% VAT
c) You'll save 10% Import tax

You export it as a personal import and don't sell for a year and everything is fine.

Me sending one bike is expensive - your 66,000 Yen per one cube and most bikes crated are two cube.
One bike needs to be crated and the shipping company does that at 45,000 Yen

Your still going to have to pay these types of shipping fees but declaration at port will not be an issue. You also get a holiday out of it :smt004

I can buy the bike up front but wont save the 5% tax and a bit of a gamble to come here hoping it hasn't sold in that time !

I could however have it delivered here and strip it down and send on as used parts - still going to be around two cube shipped and stripping and boxing fees will certainly reach 45K - PM me for further details......

It can be done though :smt002

Possibly , but think it's the lead for an oil temp sensor going to the Daytona temp meter.

Sorry, don't have any more details on it - going to see exactly how far away it is from me, would like to see it up close and personal :smt016

Just looked at the map and it's about a 9hr drive up to the shop :smt009

If i went on the bike i'd be looking at about £250 toll fees on the motorway + the fuel !

PS. If some one genuinely wanted it, i could ask my wife to email / fax them for more details on it and ask about history and alterations - sorry but not doing it on a whim not even for myself !

I can see the yellow pipe from the top of the rad going to the bottle but I'm looking lower down at the ignition there is a wire coming from just below the cover that loops round and heads off towards the rear of the engine and under the frame
