Subject: Lusting in the USA


So I just found you guys.  Sorry if this is a repeat 
Question, but I long for a African Twin.  The only
problem is WE JUST DON'T GET IT HERE!!!!

I live in Colorado and it is fairly easy to register
non EPA/DOT bikes.  Heck we even have KX500s 
that are considered street legal here.

I have talked to my insurance agent and she believes 
we can get the bike Insured with her even if the bike 
is not legally in the US.

The Engine in the African twin is very similar to 
our Shadow 750. So parts should be relatively available.

So given that back ground, how could I get a bike 
sent to Colorado???  How can I get one and avoid
VAT Taxes in the origonating country?

What does a African Twin Cost in US dollars??

Starting next year, Cagiva will start importing the
Canyon 900 ie.  While it is a cool bike, parts and 
durability are a big concern.

Any thoughts???
