Shipping Advice for a Suzuki Motorbike

[Guest Hetty]

Hi

We have a Suzuki Intruder 800c which was bought in the UK, registered 2005 and has had no modifications. It's built to European specification but Suzuki won't provide us with any assistance with regards to shipping to Australia.

We have a few questions:

1. which forms do we use to import the bike

2. are there any helpful websites with bike shipping

3. are there many pitfalls with additional costs of shipping and taxes

4. is it straight forward to register the bike in Australia.

5. the retail price here is only around £3000 but it's in mint condition and we're loathed to give it away here and would rather bring it out as it's got a lot of life left in it. It looks the business.

We can't import it on a personal import scheme because we are already importing our cars already.

Does anyone have any advice how we can go about this?

That would be much appreciated.

I think you have already answered your own question already.
