D2-4-1 http://www.cbsa.gc.ca/E/pub/cm/d2-4-1/d2-4-1-e.html You will not be able to ride around on US plates as a Canadian Resident.

I don't think that is possible. How does one get a trip permit? What documentation do you have to show the MTO? I don't believe they would issue a trip permit for a bike that hasn't been legally allowed to enter the country yet... see what I mean? If anything you could drive to seattle...

Why don't you call the numbers listed and talk to US Customs and CBSA. I'd take their word over anyone elses on here, as they are the ones you'll be dealing with.

Haven't heard anything about that.

Livingston or look in the yellow pages under customs brokers they maybe able to direct you.

Duty is the ******* tax. You're an *** at the border and they will be by the book with you and charge you duty.;)

Yes it's safe. We took 3 bikes in a U-haul trailer to Daytona a few years back. Just make sure you secure it tight cuz if she shifts or moves you won't know it until it's too late.:)

Elaborate.... Had ya done that you wouldn't have gotten my first response. I don't "read into" post I read what is written.

Did you read this thread??!!!?? What's needed to bring it up to canadian requirements is posted on the first page.

Re: 3 time importer Hey Nick, (nice name!) Your best bet is to give customs a call. I know nothing about custom cycles and what grey area they fall under. Check the numbers on the first page and if you don't have any luck drop me a pm and I'll do some research for you.

And your name for the next 7 years. Lesson learned... thanks for posting... may your experience serve as a lesson for others.

So what happened?

You don't have to keep one leg down. My examiner said he didn't care if I put 3 legs down as long as when I plant my foot to stop I leave it planted. As long as you don't do that "walking the bike thing" we all sometimes do you'll be fine with putting both feet down and not losing any marks.

Darn... good question. To be honest I'm not really sure what the answer is on this one. Your best bet is to call the number posted on the first page of this post to get an answer from someone that has more experience on the whole importing for race use. Sorry I couldn't be of anymore help...

You can't do anything to make that thing legal. Bikes from overseas are not allowed unless they are over 15 years old. Besides from the sounds of things the bike you want is part of a scam. Leave it alone.

If they want to they can. Depends on the officer and how much they care about the price you are declaring verses the price they know the bike is worth.

I wouldn't recommend ridng a bike back. First of all you will need insurance and plates from whatever state you purchase it. Then you'll need to get plates again here. Seems like a lot of wasted money besides I"m not sure how the whole plate system works in the US (ie if you as a...

IMO, The 250 in the US is fuggly. :wink:

No, you don't need it to cross the border.
