Hoping to locate a (Nice) Ghost in SE US. Not a Strike.
Tried searching about 10 years ago, but couldn't seem to work out a deal, so trying again!
Unfortunately lost my previous I bought in NYC in 2002 to theft ~2008.
Located in NE GA, near the SC border.

Cheers, Liam

Or that we believe in them and don't want to sell?

I have two and plan on keeping them. They are underappreciated with the basic roadster, no bodywork, styling but still have all the good bits.

Bumpy!
Would make a nice counterpart to my Falco Fighter...
 
Correct, most ghosts will by now have been manufactured 25 or more years ago.
And just to clarify my previous comment ‘boats’ also include vessels carrying containers full of goods.
 
I can only counsel patience; I bought my first Ghost when they were first available in the US. My second came to me from California at what turned out to be a very reasonable price via Ebay a few years ago though at some risk as I knew and still know nothing of its history. While accurate numbers imported and sold are hard to get with the demise of the US importers and the subsequent "support" via Aprilia, they're out there in the US and I expect you'll find one when somebody's circumstances change.
As noted in previous comments here, there are usually a few for sale in the UK. I imported my then owned 2 Laverda 750s in the 1980s from UK to US. The SF2 was not difficult as basically the same bike had been imported and sold by the US distributors and I simply had to make mine be apparently the same as those sold in US. If acquiring a Ghost is something you're serious about and can't wait for one to show up in US then I suggest you should look into the importation process, it's not too hard and once they reach that threshold age it's very easy.
 
Thanks. I may look into it if a stateside one continues to elude me. I briefly looked into importing from the UK a trellis Ghost last year, but quickly got mired in the research of the process.
