    Hi, I've set my heart on purchasing a Suzuki Inazuma. Few to none used in Ireland or northern Ireland but there's plenty in mainland UK. Does anyone have any contacts for people who deliver from mainland UK to either northern Ireland or ireland?

    Anyone have any experience of doing this?

    Are you thinking of getting one shipped over without having ridden that specific one? I'm considering the same thing.

    I've ridden a friend's and I'm satisfied with the model itself. I'm willing to buy blind for a reasonable price, a newish year, low miles, service history and warranty I'd be willing to risk it

    I was looking to do the same but I bawked at the quote of over £450. Paid the dealer an extra £70 and they'd deliver it to Hollyhead where I'll be waiting.

    If you're buying from a dealer maybe you can consider something similar? You'll save a right bit.

    Jeez 450 seems steep. Think it was 250 a friend got it from mainland UK to northern Ireland

    Did you ask the dealer for shipping rate.... Because there's your problem. Also you failed to include the cost of your trip to Holyhead and back with bike on that 70 quid...

    Isn't this basically a warmed over GN250? Having had the pleasure of borrowing the latter for a couple of months, and even riding it Dublin to Limerick on back roads, it's a pile of sh!te :)

    A Ninja 250, now that's a decent bike, not some 50 year old engine in a 40 year old chassis.

    Have you an address in NI or did the courier have a base there ?

    I'm based here in NI. I had requested quote to Cairnryan and I'd meet it there but they came back with that quote to here so was happy enough with it.

    I've been trying to contact Teds for the last few days with no success. No responses to calls, email text or their FB page.
    Need a bike collected from near London in about a week so looking for options.

    Yeah, I gave up on Ted's in the end, & got mine collected from London and delivered to Dublin for £260 inc VAT 10 days ago: J & M Services +44 7951 541477 - ask for John.

    They are in Dublin most weeks, sometimes twice a week - and deliver regularly to JP Motorcycles in Dublin. Quicker to answer calls than texts, and the bike was delivered unmarked as-promised. http://www.collectmybike.co.uk/

    Bike is new, everything done by bank transfer : didn't have to leave the desk.

    If buying used, your safe enough buying from a reputable dealer. If buying private some of the couriers offer an inspection service - or find someone via an owners club to check it out for you.
    Owners club bikes tend to be well minded and come up on their own sites or FB pages too, so the bikes & owners are known.
