Anyone imported a Bike from Japan?

[Delvard]

Currently I'm riding a Yamaha TW125. I love this bike, the way it looks, the big fat mother of a rear tyre, the sound, everything - except the power
In Japan only they have a TW225. I bet it's loads of fun and I reckon I'd get one pretty cheap. It would be something to use around town, go to the gym, get the paper with. I'll also get something completely different for the longer rides.
I've imported Japanese cars before btw so know about the SVA procedure, vat etc etc.
Anyone care to suggest a good import agent? I may ask the fella I've used for cars in the past but thought I'd ask you lot as well.
Oh and for what it's worth, DAS 3 weeks away and counting...Can't wait.

BAT motorcycles import a hell of a lot of obscure Japanese bikes, don't know if they would be able to get a specific one for you but maybe worth a look?

They have a website.

Sure your engine isn't a sleeved down version of the Jap bike? If so, you may be able to remove the sleeve and buy new pistons and rings. As for servicing, most dealers will probably have a stab.
