Hi Randy
I moved back a last year from California and brought my motorcycle back you need to inform the US customs of your intent to permanently export the motorcycle. Upon arrival at Canadian customs you must provide proof of income from the US to show that you are remigrating back to Canada. This could allow you to exempt from paying duties. Assuming the bike is on the RIV list you have two weeks to get the bike registered with Ontario plates. Also make sure that all recall notices have been done and get a clearance letter from your dealer in CA as the RIV will only accept a clearance letter from an authorized dealer. Also you will have to take your bike to Canadian Tire for them who does the safety for RIV. I did mine at the Canadian Tire in Markham and can recommend the person who did mine who was very good. You can ride in Toronto with you CA plates for two weeks. My recommendation is to do it as soon as you can or risk getting pulled over like I did when I rode with CA plates in Toronto.
