Hi all, I am looking for a Suzuki Goose 350, which are quite rare japanese import only bikes. I've been looking for about 3 months now, and only one came up on Ebay in that time, and it got sold privately anyway.
Now I have Ebay searches set up, I'm on Yakaz, and Gumtree, but does anybody know of any other searchable classifieds that I'm missing? I'm in Cornwall, so I know the chances of finding one nearby are slim, but I'm willing to travel, so surely they can't be quite that rare?

Cheers for any help,

Eddie.

BAT motorcycles in Biggin Hill specialise in grey imports and used to have hundreds. The goose wasn't a super rare grey, so try looking for them.

ditto durf's recommendation, www.biketrader.co.uk and www.motorcyclenews.com classifieds are by far the biggest, and you can set the distance from your home postcode your willing to travel (so wont get frustrated by finding a minter in Cumbria....).

As a lover of the import NC30, all the ads Ive ever seen for BAT suggest their prices are sky high, but still worth a look.

Should have said, BAT Motorcycles are on the look out for me too, and I've been looking on Autotrader too. MCN classifieds are difficult, because they don't list the goose to search for?

Try Old Bike Mart, A mail order paper, mainly for the old Brit bikes, but you do get jap stuff in there too.

for something as specific as a 'Suzuki Goose 350' it should work well.
