Title: New bike Canada to U.S. import
Post by: guzziownr on January 28, 2016, 03:29:56 PM: The dollar is currently strong against the, uh, dollar so is this a possibility or a paperwork clustermageddeon?

Hey, OK. Anyone that wants to come up with US$15,000 for my 750S - perhaps we can talk. :cool:

Post by: canuck750 on January 28, 2016, 06:08:55 PM: There is very little hassle exporting a used motorcycle from Canada to the USA, I have sent three down south over the years. I use AA Motorcycle Transport out of San Diego for door to door shipping and I get them to do the brokerage as well.

I hate to see good bikes leave the country but it cuts both ways, when the Canadian dollar was worth more or equal over the past cou0ple years I was buying from the USA and shipping them here. It is a great time to be selling to the USA.

The paperwork is easy. Also, the warranty is cross-border. Depending on where you are, transportation can be a matter of hiring someone to deliver the bike just across the border to avoid being subject to Canadian sales tax (which varies between provinces), and then picking it up with a U-Haul trailer. To do that, I think you would need a customs broker. I'd be happy to elaborate, if desired, via personal message.

As far as weather its worth it I would say so at present.......... I have a pristine 2014 Cali 14 ( Tour equipped ) right now that could be had for around $9K U.S......... amazing.

Ciao.

Where could I find bikes listed for sale? Preferably on the west side as I am in Idaho.

Thanks,

Craigslist for Vancouver and Kijiji for Calgary or Edmonton.

Dang. The Canadian Dollar has gone south. It was equal or better than a buck.
