Buying a nsr import?? good idea or not!!

[hollamat]

Hi Everyone!!

I'm hoping someone out there could give me some pearls of wisdom!

Whats the difference in terms of parts used, parts availability performance etc. between Uk nsr's and imported nsr's such as the 'italian' imports??
As i'm currently seeking buy and its all a bit confusing?

also if anybody knows anything about Belgium imports let me know as i'm going to view one tomorrow!!!

Cheers in advance Matt!

The only real difference between the UK bikes and the imports is the restriction. The UK bikes are easy to derestrict while the imports ain't. Get a UK bike if you can.

Best to avoid imports. Pay a bit more and get a UK bike.

Hi

It also depends on the age of the import. Until a couple of years ago most markets did not have restricted 125s, only the UK ones were lumbered with a power restriction. If you are going for a 10 year old bike then the Italian import would not have been restricted while the UK model would have been.

All the best
