Hi Steven
I don´t know weather you can register the AT when you are a american citizien.
But in my case I had an insurance when I visited the States and Canada for my
AT.
The insurance was
Berglund Agency
5625 E. Indian School Rd. Studio B
Phoenix, Arizona 85018
(602)949-1034
The AT cost different in every european country. Buy a re-imported one. Check
the price in Denmark, Holland, Belgum maybe Italy and Spain.
Here in Germany the price for a re-imported new one is about US$ 7627.-, the
official normal dealer price US$ 9322.-.
Used one are much cheaper. Here I give you two companies which will selling you
this bike.

They speak good english so no panic.
The question weather you will buy a Twin or another one. Thats very clear. The
AT is the best one, sure.
