"After some correspondence it seems I will be able to get one over to the UK, completely built up and customised for around £2600. I have had a look around in the UK and a comparative model appears to set me back a bit more, without the customisations ( 21 Litre Tank, 18 Tooth sprocket, Gas shockers, enduro tyres and more ). Does this appear to be a worthy option? "

21 litre tank ?!? my bullet was doing 95 mpg, so the standard tank was fine, through west africa. only once did I need 500+ miles, which I just carried a plastic container with extra fuel. I snapped the rear subframe a couple of times though, so would agree with the uprated shocks.

my knowledge is only from a few years ago (I had to buy the bullet in a hurry after my africa twin was nicked). Hitckcock's motorcycles have a notice board on their site, which has some very knowledgeable enfield people. Mine was a UK version (2004).

I bought it from Reg Allen in London (Northfields), and a two weeks later (after fixing a bad earth connection) rode away. mods were, um, fitting a rear rack and new tyres. you don't need to get into the 'overlander mentality' of spending as much upgrading the bike as the bike itself costs.

they are good fun, and if looked after (moderated throttle hand) can take you quite far from your home.

I would try and find a UK imported version though.
