If you want a serious answer, best you get a bit more specific and give us some details.

I bought my bike over from Brisbane three weeks ago and compliancing and a year's registration costs all up were under NZ$400, but I knew before hand that my bike was in A1 condition and would go straight through.

[tri boy]

Ceck out the NZ customs and immigration web sites. Sorry don't have the link.
Welcome to the mad house.:yes:
Definitely bring the RG500.

[Big Dave]

It's no dramas for one bike.

Just make sure you have all the documentation. Ownership, rego, receipts.

The authorities are more interested in GST and taxes (which you don't have to pay unless you sell the bike) than anything else. They may give you a harder time with multiple bikes and suspect you of selling them.

An RG though? The fares are worth more than the bike.

Just imagined your huge frame on a Rg500.:lol:
Poor thing wheez and sucumb very quickly.
(this in no way implies your a fat bastard, more a big brute that could squash me like a bug), oh shit, I think I may be in a spot of bother.:bash:

[Big Dave]

I don't know Suzukis very well, but I guess it's pretty rare now?

But what's it worth? - against 2-3K for the fares and expenses return.

[tri boy]

A good RG500 is quite a rare/desirable beaste. Maybe 5---8k depending on its state.
Canning a RG500 around some NZ Track Days/ Twisties, is something unique.
Mate had one back in the 80s. F**k'n weapon in the right hands,(not mine).

[fredie]

can i bring in 5 or 6 bikes .

[fredie]

hello . please help me

[Big Dave]

I used Pickfords. Ask them. Or any customs agent.

I 'reckon' you'll have to do some sharp talking to convince customs that you don't intend to sell them.

They will require you to get a valuation for each bike and sign a stat dec that if you do sell them within 24 months - you will pay the outstanding gst.

Hi Fredie
First things first, why does an aussie want to come to NZ, I will not be bribed by dream bikes, are you a wallaby that wants to play for the all blacks or something.

[fredie]

i am going on a long trip around the world . and nz im comming over for a while :clap:

[Coldrider]

Some of NZ roads are the best & most scenic in the world, you will be dissapointed if you go further.:niceone: and our beer is nice too

[Conquiztador]

i am going on a long trip around the world . and nz im comming over for a while :clap:

Something fishy... Why would someone (even an ozzie) take a bunch of bikes with him on a trip around the world?

I don't belive that you are a fair dinkum ozzie. I recon you are from middle east and you have a harem...

[fredie]

I believe that you that all you need to visit is the passport and can stay up to a year before we get sick of your Aussie accent and kick you out. However to actually work I believe you need a work permit. As for the lisence I am not sure but would assume that they would check all that

Normally when I loose something I search where I lost it... ;-)

If you are a fair dinkum ozzy then you should not need any work permit...

[fredie]

[Conquiztador]

This from the NZ Immigration website:

"People who may not need a visa or permit

A worker from overseas won’t need a Work to Residence Work Visa or Permit if they are:

a New Zealand citizen, or
a New Zealand resident, or
the holder of a valid Australian passport, or
the holder of a current Australian Permanent Resident Visa, or
the holder of a current Australian Resident Return Visa.


All other prospective employees from overseas will need a Work Visa or Permit to work in New Zealand."

Im an ozzie, been working here for a year. you dont need any permits to work and you can stay here working forever or until you get sick of the rain. all you need to get is an ird number, ( equivalent of a tax file number). To bring your bikes over you need proof of ownership papers, go to the RTA and get them to print out stuff showing youve regestered them for x number of years if you dont have purchase papers. I think you also have to show youve canceled your australian rego. you dont have to pay taxes unless you sell the bike within a year or maybe 2. If your over for less then a year you can do some temp thing where you put up money that you get back when you leave the country so you dont have to change to nz rego. Ive kept my aussie licence to use over here as when i get pulled up they cant be bothered with the hassle and you tell them your leaving in a week or 2 and they let you off. hope this helps

[fredie]

might be helpfull

[delusionz]

can i ride in nz on my aussie licence . even if im banned in aus . or can i get a nz licence . what do i do . i have not lost my aus licence yet , but will soon . :whistle:

get your ass over here, purchase a road code for motorcycles and a road code for cars, study those for a while and then get into an AA (automobile association) office and ask to convert to a NZ license, I think you'll have to do a learner test for each class you're converting over, ie, cars class 1, motorcycles class 6.

You'll have to get used to the reversed giveway rules too, But it's not too hard to grasp

[Swoop]

how ? what ? do i need too do . so i can stay in nz for a year :shit:?? how many bikes can bring over ???:headbang:
