some folk i know who used to race used to get the bikes from holland.im sure it works out much cheaper
this was about 5 years ago so maybe they have come down a little in price in line with there but i serously doubt it knowing what this countrys like
ktms in all black look shit hot makes a change from being tangod

im sure the only cost about 4k in the states for the bike you want.but obvously importing from there is a bit expensive and defeats purpose but going to holland for a booze cruise and bring back a bike at the same time as im sure there the same price over there
and thats looks very simalar to his bike but with super moto wheels

jacko if you get one from holland you,ll end up paying registration fees etc...
better to get a uk bike!
as for ktms being unreliable
i raced them for four seasons and as jacko said keep servicing valves checked every so often and you,ll get less problems than a jap bike!
jacko good luck ,they are cracking bikes my little bro has a registered 07 525 with supermoto wheels and enduro ones

jacko maybe rc4 is maybe right with the registartion etc as maybe then adds the price up to what would cost here
the ones i know of werent for road use
but theres a place up near me in port seton that advertises in trials and motorcross that always seemed to be alot cheaper than anywhere else and i think they got there bikes from abroad.im sure tho only differences are little E on the lights etc that you cant really see anyway and are like to get broken.
i really want a bike again but need a place to keep it

If you buy one from holland etc make sure it,s dirty when you bring it back through customs and tell them you took it out with you or you,ll get nobbled for tax on the bike!!
