    Taking bike to Australia?

    I was wondering if anyone has taken a bike to Australia? I've read that you need to have owned the bike for 12 months, but that you have to pay 20% duty on the vehicle. Any advice on taking a bike across - including shippers?

    Call the Ozzie embassy, those people are pretty helpful and you'll get it from the horses mouth.

    I have no idea about shipping vehicles to Aussie.
    But, from what Ive seen, some bikes are cheaper over there, so it maybe easier to offload it here and then buy a new bike there, may depend on what you have. Have a look on bikesales.com.au to compare prices.
    FINE. This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

    I met a couple of guys at Paeroa two years ago that had bought there bikes this way. It was $1100 each for the shipping, both ways, just paid up NZ rego and wof for 3 months and they were away laughing.

    I'm interested to know what the deal here is, as I may look at taking my bike to aussie if i end up moving there next year. However, seeing that some shops are selling the 2007 R1 brand new at $16k kind of makes me think i should sell up and take a deposit instead!

    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.
