Except that it is in the US.....
Thought I might tell the folks here, just in case someone might like the idea of going "over there" buying the bike, touring the US then either shipping it home or selling it....?

Fort Lauderdale, FLA....?

Police bikes bring a little less than regular models but even so that seems like a good price and it looks perfect in the photos. Do you happen to know the mileage and it's history?

So if you buy it and then ship it home to the UK, what is the import duties and tax ?

6% Import Duty and then 20% VAT, I believe. Which makes it £11,050 + shipping.

Won't you pay the duty and vat on the shipped price?

You could well be correct....

Certainly true on anything ordered by post/courier - I see no reason it would be different for shipping a bike...
