    Exporting bikes to Oz.

    Can someone shed light on this:

    If someone wanted to move to Australia and needed to move two bikes, hypothetically say a CBX and a race bike - what is involved with each.

    The CBX isn't pre-72, and it's modified - so it has to get approval. But how do you gain approval.

    The race bike isn't road registered, obviously, and if it was an offroad bike it'd be easy.

    the personal car allowance (1 vehicle and the pre 72 have already been filled)...

    Thoughts, advice?

    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    CBX as private road vehicle
    GSXR track bike as exactly that, but know that it'll likely never be registered in Aussie.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    wouldn't recommend it - the cost involved when you get them there just isnt worth it.
    They have to be inspected, ( cost ) and licenced ( cost ) and then there is the percentage of what the bike ( s ) are worth + insurance to pay on top of that.
    When you take it all into account ( plus the cost of getting them there ) it would have to be a collector type to consider it worth while.
    And there are some bloody good bargins to be had there.
