Sounds like you have done your research. I'd buy something locally and drop it on trademe afterwards for $1 reserve. So you may loose a few $$ on it, but overall I think you will be better off. If you buy right, chances are you will recover most of your money, or even make a few bucks on it.
So take your time buying and buy at a good price. Don't be afraid to significantly low-ball them.. The opportunities are there right now. Arrange to store the bike with the seller (until you arrive) as part of the purchase price.
Have a great trip, and while you will find our roads great entertainment, they can also be really dangerous so don't become a statistic please.
