I look at  http://www.trademe.co.nz/  occasionally and i just cant believe the amount of bikes there for sale .Does anyone know if their is a reason ? Cheers dazza

The link should be www.TradeMe.co.nz

Perhaps the reason for all the bikes there is that the restrictions on bringing them in from overseas are far less than we have here.

Thanks for the link error i have it as a favourite shouldve double checked it but i have changed it now .

There is 50 pages of Harleys takes hours to go through them all .

Would there be that many people over NZ ? Lol

 When I was over there it was claimed that NZ had the highest per capita ownership of Harleys anywhere in the world.  Not sure if that can be backed up with statistics or not but it was the claim.

FR.

Well one thing for sure you get a choice of any color you want .

'cause they're choice bro, so they're all buying new ones eh?
poor attempt at humour....

One of my labourers is from NZ and he told me every man and his dog has a harley over there , Coz they are cheeper than here

Would it be cheaper&easer to import from N.Z ?

 Havent been over there since 04 but they weren't cheap then! Similar prices to here at the time (after converting to aussie dollar)

Things may have changed since.

Burto.

All these stats boys highlight how much ass raping we get here when walking in to buy a new Harley.
The government in NZ don't care (as much) for large importers to make big$$$ instead they introduce reasonable laws that allow everyday people to bring bikes in from o/s at a reasonable cost.

Down here, we get shafted every time we walk into Peter Stevens and the likes. How is it possible that Fatboy would cost 30k when our dollar was 62c USD and it is still 30k when the dollar is more than parity.

What gives?!!!

Robcig, you reckon that 25k for a 3-4 year old bike is reasonable compared to Americans pay 12k for the equivalent?

Cause there good.

G`day All , Ya spoke too soon FatRob , Bloody Kiwi`s lol , always quik to rub it in and break out the stats hey lol , more hogs per capita , bigger buildin than centre point , better harbour than Sydney , better sports teams , better fishin , cheaper real estate , fastest sheerers , fastest indian lol , bla bla bla , fugg always makes me so jealous , specially when we lose footy or crecket too`em hee choice broo sweeeet !
Does make one wonder why we pay so much , though our Aussie hogs ARE "Worth More" they say and mines gotta be worth at least double that again , too me , lol ! Cheers Fella`s , Skin

yeh hilly wa is the 3rd biggest new zealand city,35% disc on aussie dollars

Looks like new HD pricing in NZ is almost identical in dollars as Aus but the exchange rate is currently 75 cents Aus to the NZ $ making them 25% cheaper. Yep, we're still getting shafted!
