High mileage FZ1's

[Mazzamark]

Mark have sent you a PM, But before you take the bike to Portugal checkout insurance costs and registration costs. I would imagine Portugal will be similar to Spain. I moved here in March and brought out my 2011 Kawasaki Z1000SX in April. It was going to cost €670.00 to insure and to put on Spanish Plates €1053.00. Unless you take the bike back to the UK once a year for an MOT. Also if and when you put it on Portugese plates you will have to have a Portugese version of an MOT, they will insist that you change the headlight unless the FZ1 can be altered to there side of the road. Just a few points to be considered. I ended up selling my SX in the end and bought a FZ6 S 2 N out here.Lew

Hi Lew,

Thanks for your info, trouble is with Portugal, im sure Spain is the same, 3rd party only is dirt cheap, fully comp is very expensive. I'm looking into registration, you are right, its a horrible price and I didnt consider the changing of the headlight. How did your FZ6 compare price wise to the UK, cars and bikes are very expensive in PT,

Thanks again,

Mark
