Hi there,

Any rough idea of where in Europe you will be leaving the bike and when?
Any known issues?
And how much are you looking for and in what currency?
Cheers, John

Hi. Bike’s now in Greece. I’ll probably head towards Croatia in a couple of weeks, but don’t really have any solid plans.
The bike is as described. We can take her to a bmw dealership for inspection and share the cost. In any case, the bike was recently serviced, and I have all maintenance records. Also, just installed a new set of Scorpion Trail II tyres.
Determining the price should not be hard. It’ll be in USD or equivalent in Euros, based on the second hand market prices in the US.
Cheers..

Sounds very good. Would you like to work out your selling price in U$D and I can have a think from there. Many thanks

Hi there, long time no posts. Is the bike still available and in Europe? If yes, have you figured out the price?
Cheers :scooter:

"Buyer does not have to be a US Citizen"
How does that work when the buyer comes to arrange his insurance for riding this Florida-plated bike in Europe? Won't the buyer need some sort of transfer of title document to show the insurance company that he is the current owner of the bike?

My sincere apologies for the late response...

Yes, the bike is still available. I'd take USD 15k for it, equipped as described.

I've noticed that I'm enjoying many advantages of traveling on a US plated bike over here, and might not be equally lucky next time I ship a bike over (customs can be a PITA), so the idea of keeping it as a second bike has grown on me quite a bit. Hence the lack of enthusiasm to renew the post etc.

If the price sounds reasonable, please send me a message.

Cheers,


Serdar

She got on the scale at last year's HU Switzerland meeting... Fully fueled, with accessories, and unloaded: 280kgs. Makes her a fat pig in my book. Albeit a lovable one ;)

You do get a title transfer of course. Unless things have changed, the procedure is the same as a US buyer. Just need an FL address (of a friend etc.) to receive the new title and registration card.

I have a feeling there would be quite a few posts detailing this in HUBB because many non-US travelers buy their bikes in the US before starting their South America expeditions, then sell their bikes down in Colombia, Argentina, etc.


IMPORTANT: Please note that driving a foreign registered vehicle in one’s home country generally is not possible, save an exception or two (like dual citizenship etc.). This would practically bar this bike from Europe if purchased by a EU resident or citizen.
