Cost of Registration and Insurance in Rotterdam/Netherlands

[KungPao]

Is there any one here that rides in the Netherlands? If so. How expensive is it to insure and register a bike there. I am in the process of purchasing a bike from a person located there and he claims that the cost to ship the bike to the US is cheaper than getting it registered and insured. Saids its not worth the trouble. He just relocated from the US and took the bike with him thinking he would ride it there.

Any comments or advice would be gladly appreciated.

Cheers,

I see you must have been interested in the same bike I am. Did you find any answers to your questions? I did find out that bike registration is about 20 percent of the list price of the bike. since your posting was so long ago, why did you decide not ot buy the bike?

Well, I just saw the ad posted in the Toronto Auto trader (canada). Looks like the same story. I spoke with a couple of Suzuki reps last night about it and they said this guy is a scammer...did either of you have any luck. it seems to good to be true.

whats up.....i have been dealing with the same guy and i have decided that it is a scam. he would not even let me pick the bike up in person and handle the shipping myself.....SCAM! here are some of the e-mails...start at the bottom and read up


I am very sorry Jeff, thank you for your time ...Jannis

Hello Jean,
Bike is in perfect shape. NO ACCIDENTS. NO DENTS. NO SCRATCHES.NO CRACKS. NO DAMAGE. Kept inside. It is in showroom
condition. All service - on time. BIKE IS ROAD READY. I also have all the original equipment.
Used only on limited weekend basis in the summer. The maintenance schedule has been followed to the letter
and all service has been performed by dealer.All maintenance is documented. The bike has a clear title.
I will provide you all the papers you need for the bike together with the CLEAR title!!! This will be transferable
to your name.
I want to let you know that i just married and i decided to follow my wife in Rotterdam, Netherlands.I took the bike
with me thinking to register here,but when i saw how big registration taxes are here,i decided that is better to sell
it within USA space,is even cheaper for me to deliver it in USA or Canada than to register here.
I want to use for our transaction www.alliancedelivers.com . This is a 3-th part service. They will protect your money and my bike.
They will keep your money in their custody till you will receive and inspect the bike. I'm sure we can proceed this way.You will have 5 days to inspect the bike that is like I described to you, after that you will contact the escrow company to release the money.
You will be able to properly check the bike and verify the papers so everything matches my description!
This is an insurance for you that I am correct! If there is something that is not as described, then you just ship
the bike back my charges and the escrow service will fully refund you! The price for the bike is 5600 $ including all the shipping taxes, insurance and handling to your home address. You can call me here if you want: 0031 638 360 613.
Thank you for your prompt response and I am looking forward to hearing from you!!

Sincerely!

I saw your Honda cbr1000 price 5,600.00 on hebdo.net and i'm interessed.
is it sold. Where can i see your moto.

[fxdl3000]

Im from Montreal in find a ducati 2004 749r for 6800$ us in Hebdonet.com . It was to good to be true but i email the guy and he told me that he just moved from the us to roterdam and the cost of registration was to high and he decided to sell the bike to the us or canada. He want me to do business with transcontinentals.com to do the transaction, i contact them and they want me to send the money directly to a johnny craven in california.

I told them that i will need to see the bike registration with the owner s name on it but they keep saying that they cant do that .

I think it is the same guy you are talking about.
