A question:

While shopping at La Comer the other day, I really liked that Vespa-lookalike Italika motor scooter. I also liked the price: around US$1300.00. A few years ago, I looked into buying a Vespa in Anchorage. US$6000.00 and a 6 month wait. When asked about arranging shipping to the States, the lady suggested checking with the factory. They, too, weren't interested. "We'll sell you one and you can ride it home" was the response. I'm curious if anyone from Canada or the States has bought a bike down here and how they got it home. TIA.

The prices appear to be a steal. Quality? Who knows? I'm currently running a 2007 Suzuki Burgman 650 cc scooter back home. New ones retail in Canada for around $13,000. For that price I could buy seven new Italika 150 cc's.
Sorry, can't advise on getting one back into the States or Canada. But the prices of scooters in Mexico tells me we're getting royally shafted back home. Might be worth trailering one back to Montana.....or just leave it in Zihua.
