before i get into modding the bike, first i have to get it over. i'm sure i'll be changing all the parts you mentioned. already sourcing our forks, brakes, exhaust..etc...
the greatness is that i have a friend in hk that has a mc28 and he's a bike fanatic. bought a 1996 nsr repsol and kept it in mint condition in his house. I saw it last winter and it has, surprisingly, no rust at all. everything is clean clean clean. he wants to sell it, i wanna buy it. but i know i wont be able to insure it without some trick.
there's a guy in vancouver with a mc21 1993 thats street insured. the frame was restamped as an older honda 250. that's the trick for his bike, i dont think i want to risk that.
so my question is at what point do 'parts' become a 'bike'?
if i get a 1990 mc21, there's absolutely no issues with bringing it through customs or insuring it.
