Hello! I couldn't possibly be less equipped to answer your question but i do remember my father bought a Guzzi California 1k from Car & Classic. Had a quick look and it appears the have a similar spec Le mans on there from 1978. Similar miles too! https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1241226

I did this with a car. Flew from Belfast to exeter. Bought the car and drove back. I did it as the car I wanted never had many for sale locally and the one in England was a great deal so worth the trouble. However if you're spending £4k on a bike you're not going to save much coming over to England. The cost of a ferry over and back plus fuel, food, tolls etc. And in the end you might not like the bike at all and be a waste of time. For popular bikes like a mt07 or er6n there must be some decent ones closer to home. Also (if I remember correctly) you will need to register the bike at the DVA in NI which probably costs something too. That's a fair point, I certainly will exhaust all local options before i make the effort to travel. Had a nosy and it appears you would be correct up until a few years ago- only have to notify them, but i would not have thought to check this! https://www.gov.uk/importing-vehicles-into-the-uk Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Interesting, a assumed it was a economy of scale thing. Mostly looking at auto trader and then the dealer website of those i find on auto trader. I will certainly exhaust all local leads first. Thanks for your input.

As long as you don't go through Wales ! Oh Know why is that? Is there any other way to Holyhead? (Think i will go LP to Belfast save me the Irish leg.)
-
That's it! I'm a little nervous but who isn't on the first trip. In a way this is why i want the bike - for trips like this! Thanks for all your responses- i will post what i end up doing and a pic or two- covid pending ofc.

Hahah i lived in Kensington, Liverpool for years so i know that's good advice!

She's mint!

Yeah? Part of me thinks if I'm posting this for advice I already know the answer! I do own a van though, wonder if i could stuff it in the back of my vivaro. Probably need some sort of ramp though- starting to look messy... England just seems to be miles ahead on the offerings!

Hi, I Completed my Cat A Test (Direct Access) just before the pandemic (February) and have not ridden since. I Live in N.Ireland and bikes are much cheaper and plentiful in England. Would it be ill-advised for me to get a flight to England and drive the thing home? Looking like a 4 hr drive (google maps) from my ferry port & i live a further 2 hrs from the port on the Irish side. I intend to spend around £3K-4K on something like a Er-6n OR Mt-07 and it would really take away from my budget if I have to get it shipped home! Thanks
