A few years ago I was crewing on a Baja team, and these little bikes were running all around Ensenada delivering pizzas. I fell in love with the little buggers and really wanted to bring one home. I even figured out how I could stash one in one of the parts rigs and get it back over the border. But, they're not U.S. legal, so there's no way I'd be able to title or register it, and my friends talked me out of doing it.
As far as beauty being in the eye of the beholder, when I saw my '07 R1200R sitting on the showroom floor for the first time, she stopped me in my tracks, and I had to have her. And I still would, had the electronic gremlins been a little less invasive.
Haja...that's funny. My CGL125 was in Costa Rica and at one pont I toyed with the idea of riding it back to the U.S. but was also unsure if I'd be able to register it here. I've driven Oregon to CR in a car and also down to Guatemala and back on my KLR650. Doing that long a trip on a 125 was going to take some time, but I think I could have made it. If anything really went wrong I was simply going to unload it wherever--meaning basically giving it away--and fly home. Instead I sold it to a friend in need in CR who makes very good use of it--sometimes he rides 3 and even 4 up to take his family here and there.
