As some may know I'm now running a Thunderbird.....but have started looking longingly at adverts for TBA's...again.
Im determined not to buy one till the depths of winter when prices over here drop...and I want to keep the Tbird.
But I just knew I'd miss having a TBA.
Oh well, what will be will be.
Next time though an older model...was seriously p***ed off at not being able to remove the speed limiter on my '14 TBA LT

So, as we're now into spring, you'll be looking in December then?
Only 7 months to go!

I'm sure the internet can provide you a countdown calendar.

Based on my experience, I would look in the US. Assuming you can pick up a bike for under $3K (I had mine up for $2.7 and it didn't sell) + $700K to ship if you can get it to the port ($1000K for door to door) + £400ish import duty puts you at £2900 on the road.

That's interesting...I'd never considered that as an option. Thanks. I'll take a closer look at that.
