Usa vintage
« on: August 13, 2014, 10:28:22 am »
I have noticed much talk about importing bikes from the US. Why is that. Do you all really have a shortage of older machines?:
From your forums I can see you old Australians have a strong respect for VMX. Its amazing how many more Vinduro bikes AU has.

Yes you have far more bikes for sale. Often a bike here will sell for $5000 and in the USA its a $2500 bike and with shipping costs around $1000 it is often cheaper to import. We have a shortage of models such as 1980 Honda 250's etc.
Current bikes. KTM MC 250 77 Husky CR 360 77, Husky 82 420 Auto Bitsa XR 200 project. Dont need a pickle just need to ride my motorcickle

Yes we do have a lot of VINDURO bikes here MaxPower.

The terrain that this country has to offer is perfectly suited to enduro bikes, VINDURO is definitely something that is growing.

the enduro scene in the 70's and 80's was pretty good here in aus and as such a lot of sales in that area..PE's IT's xr's etc and many still with original owners or friends so they are coming out of the woodwork. there were great well sponsored state enduro series in most aussie states then and they bred some good riders.
