Hi there again tin136,
I looked into importing one and you're right, It's a hot and miss situation and I'm not confortable buying something on the other side of the globe while I'm here. I mean really.... what the hell would I do if they sent me a peice of junk?
I do, however, see NSR's, VFR's and TZR's for sale in the U.S and sometimes in Canada, mostly in Vancouver and they all sell for 3000 - 4000. A place in Vancouver imports them and sells them for 3800-4500 and they are newer and nicer.
So... I'm in no rush. I'll keep looking until I find something for 3500 max ... 4500 for somrthing nice... because I see other's have done it. No reason I can't.
I like your bike but it's 20 years old and for that kind of cash (maybe a little more) I can buy an older R6, CBR, NINJA ect... if I look hard enough. Also, it has that older thinner frame and I'm very interested in having the newer fatter style of frame. I might hang an RZ350 motor in it someday also.
