Subject: bringing back my AT from Japan...
Hi everyone!
I am about to leave Japan for France but I have a dilemma. Last year I
bought a brand new grey AT ( you can see it on the ATIC home page)
with out thinking it could be difficult or expensive to get the bike
officially certified in France.
I contacted Honda France about that a will ago and surprise...
surprise...they told me, I should better sell my AT and buy a new one
in France. :(
Well,I know Honda his selling ATs in France but...My AT is MY AT!!!
and (for the moment) I don't want another one. So I told them that and
they kind of understand my feeling. they said I would have to change
all the lights and I think ( but they didn't say it) the muffler. The
engine is nearly the same (I thought it was the same :( ) so it will
be find for that.
My question is, do any of you have experience with importing a bike
witch wasn't made for the EC market?
It is worth it? (meaning not too expensive and not too many hassle).
The flame of my AT as only 8 numbers and not 15 or 1?.
Could it be possible that THIS only makes it harder to get it certified?
What about if I buy one in Germany ,Italie or another
EC country. Will it be easer?
I Thank you and cross my fingers...
Frederic
