    Se trovi una macchina rara negli States puoi prenderla e spedirla altrimenti ti conviene cercarla in europa farla targare e poi la porti in italia e cambi targhe.
    Per le auto se fanno il collaudo in motorizzazione ti fanno storie perche l odometro č in miglia o perche qui in europa le frecce(turn light) sono gialle e non rosse.
    A nightmare !
    Some one need translation?

    Giusto...ho ancora due macchine li' (maserati biturbo di '87 - sempre in garage) che ho ricostruito 15 anni fa'. E' proprio un casino (per quanto riguarda le leggi in questo campo - nonche' rimangono il bollo, le targhe, etc.).

    Hai scelto proprio la parola guista - 'vergognose'. Sono molto impressionato da voi - non capisco ogni tanto come c'e' la fate...

    I agree - if you can find a working XB there, it would be MUCH more convenient financially! Cooter, Chicken, Silverrider, Lunatic, AZMidget etc. - these folks are amazing with their advice and knowledge. The more information/photos you send, the better they'll be able to get you on the right track. They'll also be invaluable once you have it (for how to maintain it)...

    @vicenzajay: non č cosė difficile portarti le macchine a casa tua.la parte legale/burocratica č pių semplice.
    Se vuoi ti mando p.m.

    I love where this thread went.

    Ahhh, the Amalfi Coast in fall. Lasagne and Vino Rosso in Maiori with a lovely lady, south of Positano and away from the tourists, best summer ever

    In answer to the question, I think a more important question is what style Buell do you like better?

    While I love my current LightingBolt

    the CityX to me is the best damn bike on the street.

    @vicenzajay:se hai intenzione di tornare allora fai bene a lascirliqui !

    @cooter:some one love the italian coast ! Nice shoot ! I'm happy you like our country.

    @lusiphur:wow 4C nice choice !!!!
    About the Buell,this is my first one,I don't need a top speed bike(I already have a Kawa 636) but I love the american engine sound 2 and 4 wheel !
    I'm not in hurry the best time to bike a bike is a winter,less money.I think the buell is a affordable bike for maintenance.I work on my Corvette alone every time.
    I'll post a picture If is allowed from the rules.

    Strongly recommend the "comfort kit" for the XB (right side scoop, rear header heat shield). Spec Ops does a very nice 'under airbox' heat shield that works a treat as well.

    I did all three, and I don't have much (if any) problem with heat from the rear cylinder at this point.
