I never saw a Bullet that was in good enough shape to export. Certainly the one I rode was not !! Thankfully every small town has workshops that can turn you up spare parts easily. Make sure the horn is in really good working order !! There are companies who import them to US and European countries already. The exported models have a little better quality control but the mark-up from Indian to US prices is outrageous. I saw a couple of Vanagons in Delhi last time I was there, but they were chauffeur driven. One was a school bus. cheers, Steve |
