Hello to the group:
My name is Bob, I currently own a 92 TransAlp, and a few others. But my
major question continues. The shop where I do business for the TA has a
new AT in Black I have the strong desire to buy. I want to buy the bike
while I continue here in Japan. I"m hoping to return to the US in the
next yr. Does anyone in this group have real first hand experience on
bringing one back to the states as a personal bike? Again I have heard
rumors but would like to know before putting anything down on the bike.
I
I have read your previous threads and saw the mention of one
importer that brings them in through Miami Florida. I have even
contacted them and they responded with your in Japan buy one and bring
it back yourself. Now I have no problem with that if it can really
happen.
In addition to wanting to try the bike and use it almost everyday I
really like the thought of having one of a lind bike in the US, maybe I
might start something.
So, follks, fellow riders can anyone in the group shed some light on
importing a newly owned Africa Twin into the US??
Any real information will be greatly appreciated. If I can't purchase
the AT I might be forced to wait for the new Triumph Tiger to come
available in Feb. I have confirmation that they will market the Tiger in
the US.
Have a good day,
