What would it cost in the US/Canada?
« on: April 17, 2011, 02:33:58 am »
Hi guys

As a dane I'm plagued with some of the highest vehicle taxations in the world. Here's an example to make you choke on your coffee:

US:
http://powersports.honda.com/2010/vfr1200f.aspx
Price USD 16000

Denmark:
http://www.honda-mc.dk/Default.aspx?ID=8
Price DKK 290000 = USD 56000

As I quite often go to Canada for business and on holiday, I've been toying with the idea of bringing one home. So my question is this: How much would i have to pay for a CB750 in this condition: http://www.guloggratis.dk/motorcykel/honda/annonce/10745717?bigimages=1#images

It's a danish kind of craighslist, and the bikes for sale at DKK 39900 = USD 7700. 19000 original miles.

I know a lad that has a very nice sandcast that is for sale in upstate NY. Pipes are 341's but the rest is all original. Probably 12-$15000 would ride it away if that is of any interest to you, 21000 miles.

You could also get this magnificent restored specimen for only $15,000

It has that very very rare Westco 836 kit.

He lowered it to $9000 in one day.  Must have gotten a lot of nasty emails.  Still waaaaay overpriced.
