Japanese motorcycle import

Post by westendah »

I am trying to find and import a motorcycle which was only sold in Asia in the early 1990's. If anyone can help with who to talk to in order to make this happen I'd really appreciate it!

There is a place in North Vancouver that import a lot of used motorcycles and scooters from Japan.
I cannot remember the name but they are on Esplanade east of Lonsdale Ave. almost at the east end of Esplanade.

I just don't get how you would have guessed exactly the bike I am looking for right off the bat! Do you know someone I was asking?

This is the only bike sold in Japan (Asian) market in the early 90s reached a cult status. All the cafe racers, big scooter boys, and collectors want one. It's kinda like the bike version of a Figaro or Pao.
