Export/import Ducati From Uk To Usa

Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by Ilmostro99, Feb 26, 2021.

  1. Background:
    I am a USA resident that has been living here in the UK for about 9 years. My wife and I are considering moving back to the USA (various reasons, but primarily because parents are getting older). I own a '16 Monster 1200R that I would like to take with me if/when we move back. Here is what I found about legality:

    "As a guideline, when looking for an motorcycle import specialist, they should inform you that the it must be:
    1. US specifications (engine) or
    2. 25 years or older or
    3. Imported temporarily, for less than 12 months or
    4. On diplomatic/government orders
    In this case the first two are permanent motorcycle imports while the last two are temporary."

    Question:
    Does a UK spec Ducati Monster 1200R share the same specifications as a USA spec Ducati Monster 1200R?
    I seem to remember hearing that Euro/USA engines were there same. Is there any truth to this? Any info is appreciated as I have no idea how to verify whether it complies or not.

    Thanks,
    Erik
