italian imports

Hi
Does anyone know of anyone in the UK who imports good xt600s from Italy, and who will sell to the public?
Thanks Dave

I bought one from a guy in Rugby his company is called UK Bikes. I got a good Tenere in need of a good service and tyres and an exhaust for £700. I found it on ebay

It needed registering which was very straight forward.Just get an MOT and complete a V55 and the V5 arrived in 5 days.

I will try and dig the number out. Your best bet is ebay IMHO.

Hi - you could try Freddie Trott (google 'F C Trott'). I bought a bike off him a couple of years ago - fair dealer.

Otherwise I have a 3AJ for sale, look at recent post under 'bikes for sale'.

I would be careful about buying a bike from FC Trott, he sold me a very well disguised dud. Cost me over a grand to get it sorted out and he refused to help at all.

Thanks for all your replies.
I am now sorted out with a very tidy late 1VJ.
The dealer has rebuilt the engine for me, and I pick it up on Saturday. So, expect rain this weekend!
Cheers Dave
