    Once again, thank's all for the information!


    *** Update for anyone interested! ***


    1 month later and I've brought a bike! Insurance is sorted, just need to find some new leathers this week during a trip to England!


    Here she is in all her glory, I will be collecting her on the 24th! Yes, the exhaust has the correct paperwork although the temptation to leave the baffle out is ... X/:whistling:

    @RebelFazer
    Thank you for the information!



    OK, then it seems to be regulated much more here than in the UK! It's a shock for me how well they hide speed cameras here too :cursing: , I've seen on the gov websites how expensive tickets get! In the UK they TELL you that there is a speed camera in most cases!

    I started visiting the country a lot last year and fell in love with everything about it! Especially being in the Rhine.. and of course a beautiful woman too! Everything and everyone seems to be so nice here in comparison to the UK!

    Thank's for the information! :grinning_squinting_face:


    I'm interested in smaller social riding rather than a formal group as you mentioned!


    Yes, I've spent some time exploring and playing already, I brought my fiesta ST over with me for a few months so meanwhile I've already found a lot of lovely routes.. I'm sure there are many to be explored though.


    Great video choice :grinning_squinting_face:

    Hi all,


    I've recently emigrated to eastern Switzerland (Altstätten) from the UK and am looking for some advice! I've been a very keen rider in the UK for the past 5 years with the majority of my time on a GSXR 1000 (K7 & L3) model.


    I'm currently looking to purchase a Suzuki GSXR 750 or 1000 2015+ next month and have a few questions.


    Where are the best places to search for new & used motorcycles? At the moment I'm only aware of https://www.motoscout24.ch/de and http://www.winiger-au.ch/ a nearby dealership.
    Where can I look to purchase new gear, helmet, 2pc suit ect... anywhere in Western Austria would also be great as I'm 5 minutes away from the boarder.


    Are there any local clubs that are happy to welcome 'foreigners'. (I only speak very basic German at present)


    Any advice for nice riding routes, I'm particularly interested in twisty mountain roads!


    How strict are the police with modifications here, for example.. a custom Exhaust. In England they are fairly relaxed.


    Apologies I haven't written this in German, I've started learning only 4 months ago!


    Thank's in advance for your help!


    Ben! :thumbsup:



    EDIT - Also, anything in particular I should watch out for when buying insurance? Any companies that I should avoid or are there any that shine above all others?
