1 - its easy to get it, it takes time though 1-2 weeks, even if you have one in your own country.

2- depends on the model and condition

3- yeah they are but most of them are garbage. and the good ones cost too much.

riding in traffic is suicide however, qatar has, without a shadow of a doubt, the WORST traffic in the world. All they like to do is blame other nationalities for being bad drivers while its them who contributes to it.

I have motorcycles here btw, but only ride at night well after 11 usually.

Cause yeah, car drivers are depressingly bad here. They are usually surprised when they see a motorcycle and dont know how to react to one near them. They will turn without looking, get into the fast lane and drive 20 below the limit, stomp on the brakes and come to a virtual stop at the speed cameras.

I can go on and on but I dont wanna stay here all night to describe just how horrible car drivers in qatar are.
