Dave in Kerry

I’ve decided to sell my Dr BIG which maybe of interest to a UK buyer. Here is a preamble and link: “This bike has a known history and documentation from new. Bike was personally imported from Devon UK in February 2017 and ridden home and registered here in Ireland in my name and address. Consequently, I understand the bike can be returned to UK and original UK registration number reapplied without incurring any Duty.” Suzuki DR800 SR43A 1991 for sale: https://www.donedeal.ie/motorbikes-for-sale/suzuki-dr-800-sr43a-dr-big-dual-sport/37160127

Good luck with your project. The KE100 was the first bike I bought with my own money as a kid. Little disc valve stroker with oil injection. Fond memories of it.

Ah, surprised to find so many kind greetings et al - thanks. I was active on a few forums until about five years ago but fell by the wayside like a lot of us do. I’m sort semi-retired with a keen interest in bikes, I found the NW200 & TT fascinating this year to watch. Over the past lot of years Ive had a few big tourers GTR1400, Pan Euro 1300 & 1200 Tenere but, not doing the miles I used to, weight and running costs so I’ve downsized in recent years. Prefer tourers and big trailies for ergonomics and type of riding I tend to do. I currently have got five bikes of which I intend to keep my CRF450L Enduro (most recently acquired), Forza 300, WR250F Enduro and two classic trailies Suzuki DR800 (SR43A) & Honda XRV750 (RD07A). Unfortunately a change of circumstances means I have to depart with the last three. It maybe of interest that the DR & XRV were both acquired from the UK many years ago and are in great condition and can be re-imported to UK without any duty to be paid I understand. Both just had a major service and run on dyno by local spanner magician John at JOG Tuning. John preps competition bikes for Irish & UK Road Racing & BSB. There are always lots of bikers from UK & EU about Kenmare on their hols this time of year. I suppose that’s enough words for now. regards Dave.
