I found my last bike on cycletrader.com ... you will find something in your area for sure through them and benefit from seeing average prices, mileage, etc. I REALLY like my Honda Fury!

Sir, I would recommend against a motorcycle in Korea. Everyone drives like an asshole in that country and treat stoplights as suggestions. Most people who need cars while stationed there drive beaters.

I bet they have Korean models in Korea. :) Where are you going to get BMW parts? Where do you go to get your car fixed? IF it is the PX, you do have to wait for parts to come from the US for US vehicles. Unless they started buying US spare parts....then which parts and which companies....this would be more expensive than even Ford or GM would have to do...to have so many parts$$$. FYI, the KOREAN taxes on Foreign Cars in Korea was about double the price. I think it got a bit better...and you are lucky you have a SOFA stamp! We often do not realize how lucky we were.

Don’t buy a Bike because it’s cheap. It’s cheap for a reason. Spend the money and buy a good one and you won’t have to buy another for a long time.
