Do a little research on the sites mentioned,I think you'll be pleasantly surprized at the cheapness in the U.S. When I look at classifieds in U.K. magazines the numbers seem comparable but the value of the pound doubles the price for me.
At a recent auction in Fla. I saw a low milage Buell Blast [2000 miles] sell for $1300. KLRs and DR 650s can be had for less than $3000. Older Jap street bikes are around for less than $1000 if you can clean carbs and free up brakes this can be a workable option.
That said I've always wanted to see the British Isles , but I am balked by the George Bush 50 cent dollar. Come to america we're on sale.
