Hi All,
I'm considering buying a new Trail 125 but I like the brown color that isn't available in the States. So I've been looking into importing one from overseas. I have zero knowledge or experience in doing this but I thought surely it must be possible.
Well, Googling for the last half hour hasn't helped, seems like it is pretty difficult. I came across the NHTSA's regulations and wondered if anyone else has any knowledge around importing a new bike given Big Brother's rules. Considering the following:
Thanks, BS

- I don't need it to be road legal (I have other bikes for that).
- I'd prefer it to be legal for trail riding but I'm still interested if it's not legal to ride at all.
- I'm not concerned with paying import and shipping fees.
- I want it OEM so painting or wraps are not an option.
Thanks, BS
