Yes Gazza,
I bought the Buell I had, from London area ,and had a courier deliver it,can't remember how much . I bought that from a U.K.BEG member,they had a good network of decent folk ,one member lent me his spare rear shock ,until my new one arrived.
The Guzzi I currently have was bought on Ebay,found the chap selling it had owned it for 17 years and was a Guzzi club member,his word was good enough for me,I rode that home from Wigan 400 miles.It hasn't missed a beat in the last 3 years I've owned it,it's in bits at the moment though( really in bits) the clutch was slipping at wide open throttle . I have attached a pic of the oil inside the clutch bellhousing. Guzzis really are a car engine in a bike frame.And one of the fanny- ing about just to get the damn gearbox out.
Ill bet clutch changes on monsters are easier .
