Apparently you can only get this model in this colour in Japan.

Could anyone give me any pointers of how I could acquire one?

I was thinking:-

1) I go to Japan, buy one and ship it back. How on earth do I register it though!

2) There is another method for me to grey import one?

[Paulington]

Why not just buy one in the UK and get it painted/powdercoated by a professional paint shop?

Lovely bike, ruined by the zorsts!

[Im-a-Ridah]

I thought you meant phones, did slightly wonder why it was in the bike section though! I had one of those phones, but it got broken when I dropped it in a jug of vodka mix

I'm after the shaft driven cams, which sorry to say the Bonnie doesn't have, love the old ones, don't like the look of the new ones.

Does look pretty sweet doesn't it. The green was georgeous too, but the black has it's number I reckon. Excellent bike too btw. Saw it reviewed recently in a magazine retro bike shootout, involving the W800, Scrambler,MG V7 Classic, HD48, XJR1300 and a CB1100, and it took the top honours for all round ability and ease of maintainance.

That looks the tits

[Clanger]

Well I like it...and if I was a little bit shorter legged, I'd be considering one now instead of something else.

I'm still no closer to getting one though, any one have any idea how I would do it?

Do I have to catch a flight to Japan?

[hmmmnz]

there are plenty of japanese auction houses that will export to the uk for you, with all the relevent paper work in hand to register in the uk,
there are even uk based companies that will do it for you,
