How much is f6349 in real money? The kid has made off with the Bandit and I'm looking for a replacement.
I've imported a couple of bikes over the years from europe. Brought them in via Canada. (Call it grey market, 'cause they are legal in Canada)That was how I got the German spec 500 Gamma, and the German ELR Kawasaki with metric gauges that are are in the collection The Gamma is titled as a gt550, as the locals at DMV guessed at what to call it and I didn't correct them. Never took it on the street, mind you but have done a couple of track days with it

Is about $12,395 . I found a Import fee of $875. plus tax. That depends on which port of entry, plus another Tarrif tax of 2% for being over 700cc's. But it can be done! To bad that new Concours 14 is calling my name. LOL

If you rode one you may be a little disappointed, I did & was:-) quite smooth in a washing machine kind of way, overweight and trick looking suspension built down to a price. My friend has had his rear shocks replaced 3 times because the hydraulic preload adjusters failed. I even had a go after it was fitted with a power commander and 4 into one, power delivery was better although still not overly impressive and the extra power only highlighted the less than perfect handling. He bought it new, spent a packet and sold it after 12 months (at a loss)as he just didn't get a kick out of it. In my humble opinion an XJR1300 is a far nicer bike to ride and feels more like an improved classic jap.

Overweight and undersuspended? Sounds like a GS to me. That thing's frickin sweet lookin, and probably fast as hell.
