Buying a Bike from US ebay
« on: November 11, 2007, 08:04:18 pm »
Can anyone tell me how you go about buying a bike off the US ebay site. Such as who do you deal with, are there people in the states that handle this sort of thing, what is involved, how long does it take, and what are the pit falls to watch out for? Any and all information will me greatly appreciated.

2 questions what type of bike must you have and what will you pay ?

If it seems you really dont have a specific bike in mind, you dont need to go to the trouble of going US,

US is good if its rare or going for a song, if its just a standard mXer youd be better buying AU
74 Yamaha YZ's - 75 Yamaha YZ's
74 Yamaha  flattracker's
70  Jawa 2 valve speedway's

For sale -  PRE 75 Yamaha MX stuff, frame, motors and parts also some YAM DT1,2,A and Suzi TS bikes and stuff
