Motorcycle shipping from the UK
Has anyone shipped a motorbike over from the UK to Canada, Halifax NS, in particular?
I am wondering if it will be worth it cost wise and how much trouble it is to get it registered in Canada?
Any info would be appreciated or websites to look at?
Thanks

Re: Motorcycle shipping from the UK
hi there
If you do a search this has been discussed a few times. If I can summarise, you can't import a motorcycle to Canada unless its at least 15 years old or to US spec. I think this means constructed to North American spec so its not as simple as changing clocks etc.
Cheers

We brought two bikes over with us but they were both classic off road bikes. OH sold his modern ones before we left UK - has regreted it ever since - much dearer to buy replacements here.
