My customs charges were 40% of the cost + delivery. So a 180euro monitor from Korea ended up costing 250. If it's an American forum their GS might be gimped for environmental bullshizz reasons.

Import charges are 22.51 dollers, well that's what the ad on ebay says anyway

Like Stance said any engine in America is detuned to meet there strict low emission bullcrap

Ahhh right yeah that makes sense because it is an American forum so majority of them on there are American, gonna try and look for some uk seller doing the jets to save on import charges might have a crack with my mate and see if he knows of anywhere there available at

Had a run on a Honda 600f earlier today, have to say it's an awesome experience and I'm thinking about getting a bike licence

Me too now stance mate get paid on Wednesday so that could be the day to buy them [emoji4] there's a local dyno so wouldn't mind getting a before and after print out be good to see what it's lost from new and where it's at afterwards.

Ahhhh good lad Johnny [emoji106] it is a decision that you will never look back on [emoji4]. Was it the cbr 600f because they are a beautiful bike the engines on them are bulletproof. I know you can make a car quick or get a fast car but I still think to this day nothing comes close to the power from a little 600cc engine or higher even that 500 of mine leaves most cars of the line just lacks the top end really

Do it. I was saying for years that I would get a bike on the road and then I had no choice but to. I'm glad now and don't even mind not driving a car.

Well I might be trading the Ybr. Yeah it's a twin, streetfighter style twin lamps, race use only exhaust and it's restricted to 25kw so I will be able to insure it and probably remove the restrictor :)

Ahhh sounds good mate yeah I would get the restrictors off first job haha just make sure you don't get caught with out restrictors on if it's over your licence restrictions I'm not sure on the laws over the water haha. Think there similar in bhp to mine from standard and mines 47 unrestricted from new and my licence allows me to ride up to 47bhp which is like 35kw I think.

The race only exhaust will be LOUD!!! [emoji57][emoji57] I like loud haha. Will be a cracking bike mate I like the sound of the street fighter lights and stuff has it got straight bars on?? Like renthals?? you'll have to post some pics up of it of you get it. [emoji4] I've just located an oil leak on mine now [emoji107][emoji107]
