Crikys mate! Start buying dollars (the exchange rate is exceptionally good at the mo, around 53P to the dollar) and grab yourself a new R3 on your next visit. I doubt it will cost you anywhere near 3000 quid to ship it back! And, if you ride it across the US and back, it will have more than enough miles on it to get around the import duties. Besides, how can they charge import fees on a bike made in the UK?
