Guys, I've bought a few bikes from the U.S now and the savings are massive!
I generally stick to Classics however at the moment I'm very tempted to buy something new.
The following is a very enticing example.
New 2011 husaberg fx450, aus price approx $13,500.
You can currently get brand new fx450's from the U.S for $5800, which after shipping, get and other duties is between $7500 and $8000.
A saving of close to $6000!
I know a guy who has now made a full time business out of shipping bikes, boats and anything else from the U.S, he charges $1000 per bike which covers everything but gst (which is 10% of combined bike and freight cost).
He can organise everything, I've got him picking up another bike for me next week.
