[QUOTE=Surely Bridge Moto can order in another one, or more?
They have advertised brand new DR650s and KLRs, both imported direct from the States, for many months - going way back into last year IIRC.[/QUOTE]

I obviously missed the golden age of importing DRs. Like I said the guy at Bridge said he had one of two and took my deposit, then a few weeks later emailed a sentence saying sorry i screwed up, the bike was sold to someone else. Brilliant.
Against all my instincts but in desperation I've called a couple of times but he said earlier today to look elsewhere. Fair enough!
I called DK and in contrast the guy there was very helpful and informative.
He said it's not the sort of thing we bring in however if you source a bike and get it to Denver we will ship it and register it on Nova or something taking care of the import duty and the vat as its less than ten years old.
The cost for this service would be £500, very helpful chap offering a way for me to possibly do it so we're back in the game.
Found another company that imports vehicles "Kingstown Shipping" (anyone..?)
So if anyone reading this in the 'States knows of a 2012 ish DR without a million miles on it pleas shout up.
DK fill their containers at Denver as I said so it would have to be near there but I will try and talk to someone at Kingstown tomorrow and post back here.
More future reading will be what hoops I have to jump through to pass the SVA test, anyone put a DR through one of these recently??
