Hello,
I am quite new in this forum so I apologize if the same topic has already been discussed.
I had a DR650 imported from the USA but had to sell it 7 years ago when I became a father and had no time to ride it.
Now, I decided to prepare for a long trip across Europe and of course my first choice was the DR (brand new or a low mileage one).
However, I am facing some issues in my EU state (Bulgaria).
I can organize the import from Canada/US, but unfortunately I won't be able to register the bike as it does not meet the Euro4 regulations which seem to be applicable in my country (and probably in all EU states).
Reading this thread I understand a few people (Alan Hopkins and Flying Dutchman) have managed to go through the registration process.
Therefore, I am considering the option of Importing the bike into the UK, registering it there and changing the registration plates in my country (should not be a problem I hope).
I first tried with Bridge Moto, but they said they were no longer importing DR650s into the UK.
I also talked to the guys from "Motorcycle Giant", but they seem to import rare bikes only from Japan and unfortunately the DR is not offered on the domestic market.
My two questions to the knowledgeable people in this thread are:
1. Is it is still possible to register a DR in the UK (MSVA, tweak the carb to meet EUR4) ?
2. If 1. still holds true, do you know of any reputable UK bike dealer I can rely on to import a DR into the UK?

Of course, any other options are welcome.
Thanks a lot

Philip
