No , but know people who have . To UK to be more accurate. $400 would be your target best price ... I got a first quote of $500. This is to UK , and I suspect that would be much cheaper (simple supply and demand laws !).
Then go get it and sort out paperwork etc. (Out of interest - circa $1500 to ship it TO USA) ... these were both prices from San Fransisco. Logic would say cheaper from other side of states ... logic does not always work !
Where are you looking to buy? I have a contact who can organise bike collection, shipping etc
It's not a huge issue but be prepared to pay more than $400 by the time all the costs are taken into account!!
I've got my eye on a little something this summer and if I buy it, I will bring it back on my container in August.
Imported 2 bikes last year. There is paperwork at both ends but it was not to bad. Your biggest issue may be insurance once you get here. No reg number until you have it tested for compliance here in the UK so you will need to trailer it to and from everywhere until it’s tested and a UK plate issued.
Don’t forget the duty and VAT you will need to pay.
