 Once upon a time, the parallel import business was big business in the UK, as bikers looked to Europe to find cheaper bikes. Now the tables have been turned, with overseas buyers attending auctions, according to BCA Auctions.

BCA Peterborough Manager, Andrew McDonald commented " At the most recent event, mainland European buyers represented nearly 10% of the crowd. With the strength of the Euro against the Pound, these buyers were looking at export opportunities, particularly with the higher value sports bikes, tourers and performance machines.”
