Nice. And 923,000 yen works out to about $9,800 - even allowing for transport costs, they could probably land them fairly cheaply. But did you notice there's almost none of the export models available domestically? No ZX, no zeds - they save them for the crazy foreigners!
And did you see the retro Mach III 500 triple? I hope they've figured out how to make that sucker handle by now!

At the top right of the page, there are two links: export model, and memory model - click on memory model and then on "500 SS" when the page loads.

It's a bit of a shame. I'm almost tempted to set up a private export of a Mach III replica when I'm over there next year. Only about $3,000 to buy - but then probably at least the same again to ship and get through customs, let alone getting it registered. It'd be a pain in the arse getting parts shipped from Japan all the time too, but I reckon it would be simple enough to do the maintenance on it. Kind of extravagant, but it'd be fun to have!

If you want to share costs I'd get one as well at that price,you might consider that it isn't a replica but a continuation of a model that has already been imported here and so a precedent can be found for the rego.
Wonders if there's a dead frame and engine out there in the fourth dimension?

It's not a replica,it's a continuation,click on Memory model then click on the flash graphics and a floating screen will drop down with W650 and 500SS,click on the 500SS and you will see an original looking 1969 Mach 3 new from the factory with drum brakes and all and its new from the original makers,outstanding work,why restore one when a new one costs $3000AU ex Japan?
It appears to me to be exactly the same bike bar colour that I had in 1970.
