    Total $8745 for the imported bike

    Alternatively if i bought 'locally' (interstate as there are virtually none in my city) I'd be up for $11600 (Stellio's find - '09 XB12ss) plus $120 for local inspection and I'm guessing maybe $300 for freight to where I live. Total $12,020
    So there's about $3500 (25%) to be saved by importing - provided it goes smoothly. Either was I'm buying sight unseen which is not ideal.

    Yeah Twoguns, compliance is the next thing I need to research. Shouldn't be too difficult provided I buy something 100% stock standard, but at this stage it's still an unknown.

    Sorry Twoguns, I'm in Adelaide.

    Only a couple of 1125's for sale locally, which would set me back 13 to 14 large.

    no, i think you have an issue buying something so new and trying to import it. i am not sure if there is a rule being either older than 7yrs or you have to prove its a prior personally owned vehicle and you are wanting to bring it to the country with you.

    I've found a couple of companies that specialise in importing late model Harleys US -> AU, sent a few email enquiries tonight, fingers crossed they'll get back to me tomorrow and tell me they do Buells all the time & it's not too expensive :)

    Another good find from Stellio. I'm really after a Lightening but would be more than happy with a Firebolt.
    Looiking at '08, '09 models

    That's actually a good example - are there any Americans here that can tell me what something like this would go for in the US?
