G'day guys 'n' Gals!

Heading out to start my new job in Brisbane in a few weeks time so sadly the FZ6 will prob have to be sold off for some extra funds.

Quick question... Does anyone know the differences in the bike market in Aus compared to the UK? From what I can figure out (can't find too many Aussie bike guide websites!?) the models vary a bit. Like you can't get a Yammy MT-03 out there?! Wouldn't mind another FZ6, it's been fantastic but quite like Supermoto's too... There don't seem to be any 0% interest deals either? Perhaps I'm barking up the wrong tree and just not lookin in the right places. :thumbup:
 
Hey Puz, welcome to the "Land down-under".

MT-03 doesn't exist here, the closest thing to that would be the XT660X...
Yamaha Motor Australia

A mate of mine had a Husaberg Supermotard, man that was an awesome bike (especially in his hands, the guy was a riding freak.. all 6'6" and 350 pounds of him..lol)

You get 0% interest deals over there OMG. Sorry mate, nothing like that exists here either, the banks/finance companies screw you for everything you've got down here.. unfortunately.

:)
 
FZ6's are about $11000 + On road costs, new, in Australia. A good second hand FZ6 goes for between $7000 - $8000, depending on year, mileage, and condition.

Bikes are expensive in Oz, as are spares, aftermarket parts, and riding gear!

I have a heavily modded FZ6, and i have found it a lot cheaper to buy the big ticket items from the US, and get them shipped to Australia via Airfreight...is a lot cheaper, and a lot quicker!

:eek:

Yes, it's better to buy secondhand, privately, in Oz....dealerships generally ask premium prices.

Most riders in Australia mod their bikes, with at least decent exhaust, levers, etc, and as such, you will find that a decent modded bike secondhand bike, is no more expensive than a bike that still has all it's OEM stuff.

Wonder how much that would cost? might be an option? Customs duties? Shipping rate?

It might be cheaper than you think?

:thumbup:
 
Weird I know but I'm looking forward to the Queensland winter more! Looks to be warm and dry instead of the hot & wetter summer. Sounds perfect for some long distances. Can't wait :)

A friend of mine bought his BMW back from Europe with him back in the 80's , wasn't to bad then.

Also from what others have told me ,If you crate it up and remove the wheels but still put them in the same crate you can bring it in as parts .
 
Extradition law in Australia is the formal process under Australian law by which a fugitive found outside one jurisdiction is surrendered to the jurisdiction where an alleged offense has taken place for trial or punishment.
