There area some companies that are selling the small import trucks for "Off Highway" use. Since they don't meet crash or emission standards they can never be titled or licensed for highway use. I have seen some at Universities being used as service vehicles around the campus.....and I am sure that small towns could use them locally as their Police Departments are not going to ticket their own people. Kind of a shame we can't get them for use as the local grocery getters.

Anybody want to buy me a Temptor and ship it to the US for me? I wonder where the closest market is to get one. I have a brother in law living in China......wonder if he would track one down and bring it home with him.

They turn up in the UK every so often. I know an old guy in Sussex that has one that he purchased when he decided his Trumpet Hurricane was to much for him. A London outfit imports Jap stuff and one was on EBay just before Christmas.

I've looked at shipping a bike from the States to the UK as your stuff costs half the price of ours. But the hassle and import costs etc kill the idea.

LOL! I didn't mean for my post about the North Am. Import companies bringing in Japanese Kei Vehicles to hi-jack the Tempter topic, rather only wanted to point out that anyone here seriously wanting a Tempter could very likely have one of those type of companies source one in Japan and have it brought over for a reasonable cost ... particularly if the Bike is 15+ yrs old ...

BTW, there 's a young gal who drives a 1997 Japanese spec Dihatsu Hi-Jet mini-truck who parks in the parking garage of the office bldg where I work ... 660cc, 3-cyl, 4WD, RHD ... she picked it up in Vancouver last year and drove it all the way across Canada ... 7800kms without a single issue (other than that is was slow climbing some of the passes in the Rockies she said LOL!) ... some of that stuff is well built!

Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, just surrounded by arseholes!
