Hi, I'm looking at buying a bike that has been privately imported into Vic in 1995 but never registered. So I guess the main points to note are
1- the bike is still owned by the individual who imported the bike
2- The private import was done correctly and the owner has import approval docs from when imported
3- the bike is a 94mdl and has a km speedo and orange indicators, basically it presents as exactly the same bike that would of been sold by any aus dealer at the time.
Sooooo, can anyone tell me what sort of process and $$'s I'd be looking to get this bike on the road?? Taking into account that the bike is most definatly in road worthy condition as it sits.
Any insight would be most appreciated. Cheers, Brendan :)

So far as I know the bike will still have to have compliance done on it if its manufactured post 1988. If the bike was registered in the current owners name when it was imported and then re-registered here so it has a local reg history you might be OK....as far as I know.
There are a lot of other items which need to be checked regards ADR. Which market was the bike originally intended for?

Bike was imported to be registered but never actually registered, not due any complications at the time just never happened. Bike was sold new in Mexico, has km speedo.

No, no Paco. Not land of the free...its land of the two, not free. Can you no read? >:(

If it hasn't got a compliance plate you will have to find someone who has a RAWS for that particular bike and be able to comply it. Some bikes are easier than others, ie. cheaper. The fact that it is 17 years old may help. Otherwise you will have to do some sleight of hand/smoke and mirrors type trick.
Best shot is to call motor reg and talk to them and get it straight.

I stand corrected,Can Am.But where is the other one ?

Rookie log on to the Vicroads site ,type in your question and bingo you will find the answers you seek. Of course you may have to bang around in there a bit but the full procedure is in there.
1994? good luck

The Aussie owner has taken a long time to not register it, 17 frigging years :o,It,s not as if you would use it for track days & not need reg, although they are a great bike,I have spent a bit of time riding a mates one :), Alarm bells would be ringing for me as to why ???,It would want to be cheap or come with a rego guarantee ;)

I am 100% confident the seller is on the level, he just never really bothered with the rego as he always had other bikes. This is the last one to go, it's only got the minimal k's on it that it had to have to be a legitimate private import, does 560k's from new and $2500 sound like a good thing Chris?? ;) ;D

Yeah Brendan the price is good pending you being able to rego it,I remember riding with my mate,I had one of those Honda VFR400 grey import jobbies & he was on the Tiger,I was always overcooking the entry into the corners coz I didn't see his brake light come on thinking it wasn't too tight,when we swapped bikes I found out why,the Tiger had awesome engine braking & he was just rolling off the throttle :D

I had the same thing recently.....turns out his brake bulb was blown! My entry speeds were a bit hot a few times - goes to show...don't rely on someone elses apparently great, fast, lines :o

this bike should be fitted with an import plate.i would buying this bike on the proviso that the current owner gets it reg for you.to get it tagged thru raws will most prob cost you around 2500 if you can find someone to do it for you.bike sounds suss to me and i have had a bit of experience with this sort of thing

Just catching up on old threads and read this, there was nothing "apparent" about about those grreat fast lines they were what they were :P

Well i've now got the bike, the correct documents and the previous owners help when it comes to rego time which will be simple. All i have to do now is take it over to my man in Plenty (Vic) who will inspect it and get me import approval tag, he's an older bloke who works from home and is gonna do the inspection and obtain the tag for $285! After that it is like any other vehicle rego in vic so will just require RWC then down to vic roads (who i'm chummy with at my local ;) ) and she's done. Should cost just a touch north or south of $1000 to get it on the road so I'm more than happy with that considering the bike only cost me 2.5k :)
