High local European prices compared to "import" often means the local VAT is not charged on exports- and reimport as personal item or sent by friend doesn"t get charged VAT at reimport unless marked as to be resold locally.

BMW rally had Canadians coming in riding bare shafties, stop at local dealer for Vetter, etc bits and pieces so they rode back with full dress rigs.

Japanese bikers wanting big cycles not normally sold in Japan would use a Okinawa dealer for purchase of "export" model available there- export market to US military legal, and then register local Okinawa-- which meant when brought back to main islands the local registration accepted so can run a 1000cc instead of normally legal allowed 750cc, a "grandfathered" legal registration. Tax laws can have interesting results. RN

To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
