My aunt wants me to meet her in Venice in March or April. I know she is going to want to do the touristy type vacation which I generally loathe.

What I'm thinking is that I fly to Athens (VERY cheap airfare), buy a motorcycle and take a week or two to drive up through Italy to meet her. I can get my more adventurous vacation out of the way before the cheesy one.

The plan is to buy a motorcycle in Athens and sell it in Venice when I'm finished with the trip.

How much should I expect to pay for a decent, used, small to medium sized bike?

How good is the availability of used motorcycles in March/April?

What do I need to do to be able to bring it over the border and sell it legally?

It's gonna be tough to buy a bike up there and sell it quickly. You'll need the title to come in the mail before you can sell it. So you'll at least need to use her address.

My best advice? Rent one. Much cheaper, and you avoid the title hassle, and re-sell shit. Y'know?

Also, Italy is a very beautiful place, the "Cheesy" site seeing, will probably astound you.

and the food... ugh.

My friend went to Italy a year and a half ago, and his Mom ( born and raised in Italy ) made this Italian soup from scratch, with Pasta, and I orgasmed in my mouth.

But whatever happens, you'll love it man.
