All the price quotes i have listed. The shipping might vary depending on your location a little. Unless we all want these shipped to one location and pick them up.....

Ok i got the word in from the dealer.

And as far as customs, I have no idea how they will deal with it. I do know that we have to specify that they are vehicles that are for off road use only, therefore they are taxed differently. How much they charge on duties I have no idea.



So basically the boreder charges are on us. Let me know if you want one. A guy from Pocketbikes.ca paid 40 CDN in duty and taxes and the other paid 140 CDN. It all depends if they check it or not.

Ok now i need people who want one and give me their shipping adress so i can confirm the shipping price. Unless we all want our bikes to be shipped at one location and then pick them up from there...

I gaurantee UPS will gouge you on shipping.

You will pay Duty at the border of at least 6% + 15% tax.

Then on top of that UPS will charge a $80 brokerage fee, because they feel like it.

Expect this to total $700 - 800 when your done.

I know you can get these bikes in T.O. for around $800 or $900 maybe get a group buy through them???

80 brokerage fee? I dont know what kind of bikes they are selling in t.o but these are the high quality replicas. Most on ebay and other sites are really cheap. I emailed the dealer asking if there is any brokerage fee that Ups will charge.
