Hey. I'm thinking about bringing a few of these over from the USA.
Any interest?

At that price you won't make any money on them. They weren't sold here - the TW125 was quite popular though and they

I'd love a clean Suzuki GT500 and will pay for shipping if you can spot one anywhere...

Well, just picked one up for $2000 with 350 miles on it.
I'll just bring the one for using myself on the farm.
Looks like I'll have a restricted license so I'll be able to ride it no problem. It does 65 MPH and 100 MPG. Cant beat that.

Dear God please make it stop - that vid is the most awful tripe. Some lad splashing his bike around in a river followed by a load of fanboy pics of good 'ole boys bringing their 'peds to the outback in their flatbed pickups?

Congratulations on the TW200, may it bring years of happy motoring around the farm but if you need an enduro bike buy an enduro bike.

Sounds perfect for what your thinking of but I don't see much of a market for them here to be honest.

Hey lads. The bike gets more attention than a brand new BMW.
Great for running into town, around the farm and for teaching kids to ride.
It is now sitting happily in Cork
