That’s good to know. I guess the advantages of US imports are less corrosion that British bikes due to a drier climate?

Thanks for your replies. Are US imports a good idea? When getting qoutes from insurance companies they seem a bit wary of them. Is it a problem getting insurance for US bikes?

Evening all. Not sure I’m posting in the right section but thought I would ask you all a question. I’m hoping to buy a classic Honda in the next couple of months and was originally thinking of a 400/ 4 but now rather like the look of the 500 and 550 fours (the ones with the 4 into 4 exhaust ). As a total novice I wonder if you could give me your views on the pros and cons of the 3 different bikes please. For example cost of running, insurance, maintenance etc. Thanks in advance.

I’m thinking of buying a Classic Honda and the Royal Enfield looks interesting but one of the reasons I’m thinking of buying a Classic Honda is I’m hoping it will hold its value. Would a new Royal Enfield do the same?

Yes I thought it seemed a lot of money. Wasn’t me who bought it.😀

Interesting. I was going to say I didn’t realise they were made that late. Looks very different to a normal 400/4. What would be the cause of the engine running problems?

Hi Julie. No never owned a Classic before, CJ250 when I was 17 and a Kawasaki 305 and Yamaha XJ 600 about 20 years ago.

Thanks matthewmosse for your advice. Sounds like a bit of a minefield out there! I think I need to be very careful about what I buy.

Thanks K2-K6. I’ve never been into Hatfield’s even though I’ve lived in Crowthorne for the last 18 years. I will certainly pop in there for a chat.

Thanks Steve that’s a good idea about Hatfield’s. I would like to come and have a look at your bike, maybe we could organise something in the New Year.

Hi Bryanj, I did email Dave Silvers as I had read about the bikes he had restored and with its warranty ( as I’m not very mechanically minded ) seemed ideal for me but they have no plans to restore any at the moment as they are concentrating on U.S. imports. Shame as it sounded ideal for my situation.
Thanks Julie, I would be way out of my depth trying to rebuild an engine. I did wonder if things my start wearing by that sort of mileage.

Being an amateur I think I might steer clear of the U.S ones then!

Thank you matthewmosse. With regards to getting a bike with a good engine, should I worry about one with higher mileage, say 40-50 thousand miles on it? Also I have seen some that are U.S. imports. Does that cause any issues maybe with getting insurance etc?
