just wondering if there are still uk dealers out there that sell race replica 250s and 400s of the 90s.
Ive seen a few aprillia s on the road but never really see any of the others.

West coast motorcycles & BAT motorcycles used to dabble in the grey bike scene....not sure if they are still in business but I`m sure they probably are.
The bike trader mag also often has a reasonable selection of 250/400`s...most will have the import problems sorted like the kph speedo etc.
Best of luck. smile

The problem nowadays is the SVA Test (Single vehicle Approval, google it), nobody is importing ´greys´ any more due to this which means its getting harder and harder to find a decent import 250/400 less than 10 years old, most will have been ragged to death or treated badly by new bikers, good luck though I always liked the NC30 and RVF400, although the ZXR was the quickest of the bunch smile

BAT are fab - the bikes are in great condition and come with warranties.
You do pay for the extras though - they arn't cheap!
I got my NC30 from www.fastlanemoto.com - a dealer in Tonbridge, family run, really nice guys...
