Bikes with yellow vin plate, are they worth looking at? I see a few around but I'm a bit gun shy, thoughts?
Better to buy a Harley made in Australia imo. Make sure it has the kangaroo logo on it.
Arsehole comments aside , yellow vin stickers usually denote a "personal import" of some type. NOT THE RAWS SYSTEM PINK STICKERS !
Usually this is a guy bringing his own bike to Australia , one he may have owned for a considerable time. I saw a Heritage from Spain for example
From memory ( hazy !) it is one year of ownership + kind of gig. Some folks bring bikes they have owned for 10 years plus.
I brought a bike . a 1973 that I bought in 1983 , to Australia in 1995.
The "yellow" stickered bikes I have worked on have all been ex-NZ as it happens , as Perth WA has many Kiwi expats
Pink stickered bikes tend to be ex-US for the most part , with a fair few ex-Japan.
I have even seen ex-UK personal import Harleys here in Perth. MPH speed etc etc
