But seriously, what is a "soviet minsk"
I never heard of that before. Do you mean a Ushanka?
Sure, someone may one day kill me with my own gun.
But they'll have to beat me to death with it because it's empty.

Ah, you mean a Minsk motorcycle..
If your willing to import it from europe, try Germany or France.. they imported quite a lot of those.

I suggest Vietnam if you wish to import one. They used to have them everywhere!

But why would you buy a Minsk?
It's a rather old looking, but not classic motorcycle.. with spare parts that you have to import from 15000miles away..

If you'd like a soviet classic motorcycle, google a URAL and DNEPR..
They are true icons
