Hi Folks,

I've recently been in touch with Galaxy, and I'm hoping to import an XTR250 as a sample to the UK.

I've been in touch with them today and they've qouted me a very reasonable price due to the USD/GBP conversion rate. I'm just waiting to hear from them with a shipping price by ship to the port of Hull, UK useing their shipping agent.

I really hope it comes off.....I know I could just buy the SMC YB250 which is the UK equivalent, but it's the 08 model with the cast hubs, and I really like the Galaxy branding and CNC hubs on the 09 model I'd be getting straight from the factory. I also get to choose colour option and graphic colours.

I'm not really sure what's got me so hooked on these Chinese dirt bikes.......they're worlds apart from my BMW bike, but they just seem so appealing

I'll keep you all posted......the shipping price could be the deal breaker, but I should know that tomorrow. If it's not a goer, then unfortunately I'll have to settle for the Mikilon 250

Cheers

Andy
