You guys are so frickin' lucky !
02/08/22 at 21:21:11

Spent a cloudy, boring Sunday afternoon exploring the innerwebs, especially Craigslist and specifically Craigslist in San Diego, Portland and Seattle since they are in a straight line from where I live.
Wow! discovered that of the bikes I like, I can buy 2 to 3 low mileage bikes in the US for the price of a decent bike up here.
Ex: 2016 S40 $1500, lots of cool bikes in most of the 3 markets at really great prices, both dealers and private.
Will begin talking to customs brokers and see if I can catch a bargoon.
Cheers! Cool

The motorcycle market where I live is incredible. I live within 20 minutes of Cincinnati and there is a good selection - but the cool part is that Columbus and Dayton Ohio are less than 2 hours drive , and Louisville and Lexington Kentucky are about the same distance......and Indianapolis Indiana is just a bit farther to the west. The Craigslist has thousands of motorcycles for sale within a couple hours drive for me!

The majority of the bikes listed here in the midwest are big American V-Twins or the Japanese copies. In between those listings are a lot of nice dirt bikes, dual sport, adventure, sport, touring or vintage bikes. I used to see Savage motorcycles for sale on a regular basis - for some reason there have not been many listed recently.

Someday I will be old......But not today!

Reply #3 - 02/09/22 at 04:24:04 Hard to believe, but exporting a vehicle from USA requires approval from US Border Control and Protection, 72 hours before exporting! Talk about red tape. Cheers!

OK, that's if the owner wants it back and pays for it. If the owner abandons it?
