What would be the best sproket sizes to put on my 1985 suzuki lt250r?


You will pay 30% import duty and V.A.T. on the total value of the consignment. If any of the paperwork is wrong, the whole consignment will be rejected.

You will then need to put EACH bike through an S.V.A. (Single Vehicle Approval) test, in order to obtain a registration document. This is because you are a private importer. The S.V.A. will cost you £750-£1,000 PER BIKE...

This all entails a mountain of paperwork and, for a private importer, a whole load of hassle. Then you will find that the bikes will sell for less than you have paid out - which is why no-one bothers to do what you are suggesting, unless they are a fully fledged, experienced import business...

Why do 4-wheelers depreciate so quickly?

It's a very, very silly idea indeed. You'll be buying a cheap, low-capacity piece of junk with at best a severely questionable history and almost no mechanical provenance. Don't do it. It's among the worst plans I've ever heard. There are very good reasons that nobody does it, and they aren't wrong. For the love of Soichiro, don't! I can't express this strongly enough without several automatic violation reports being triggered.
