Soon to resident on UK shores under the heading of barn find , prices from £899- £1500.
Mid west USA 750s judging by seat strap colour and tail pieces with visor extension over rear lense.
Sad sight though .
As for legislation, if we had a government with balls , they could override this but the green do gooders brigade with short sightedness will rubber stamp owt that makes it easy for them...same with cars ...in 20 years max they'll be no spare parts for anything over 10 years old except expensive service items that only dealers can fit .

That's my point , We can only hope that some one grabs the bull by the horns and decides that not all EU rules need to be copied just to make it easier .....like the stupid swerve test on the bike test, it needs to be 50 Km/h hence the need to do it on private land not public highway as it equates to 32 mph ..that along with other things .

As we’re not in the EU we wouldn’t have to follow that directive. It would probably dry up non-dealer/ official breaker supplies or … could be an opportunity for U.K. based ‘home’ breakers to get the bikes here? Very sad picture though…

In the majority of cases our 'so called' political class either didn't understand or more likely couldn't be ar&ed to sort the job properly so lots of stuff like this came into force not because of the EU but totally the fault of the useless UK feckers.......

The Tories either didn't understand import/export or deliberately ignored the problems that were known with exiting of the single market and the customs union.
I asked my Tory MP about the UK/Japan trade deal and he didn't have a clue! Hint - it's worse than the previous situation. There's more paperwork. So even with countries where we had no trade deal as part of the EU, it's got worse.
