hi, i'm thinking about moving to Belize. I currently live in Thailand and everyone gets around on scooters here, mostly honda's and yamaha, i have 3 myself. looking at Belize classifieds its seems the scooters are expensive Chinese rubbish, and bigger bikes are very expensive. am i wrong, can i get a nice, used, Honda click or similar for around $1000US?
failing that, i was wondering about buying a bike in mexico city and driving it to Belize and paying import duty. is that an option? how much would it cost?
also, what are the formalities about driving a bike in Belize. US license ok? can get local insurance?
thanks, steve
PS, i guess its 37% import duty on a bike bigger than 50cc http://www.customs.gov.bz/rate_motor_vehicles.html
PPS, i guess to buy a new one of the Chinese things isn't too bad

about $1600US.
rentals are ridiculous, $59/day! in Thailand its $8 a day
