Importing a 2008 Ninja 250R...help?

rob_dip · 10-14-2007, 05:07 PM

I'm going to buy a 2008 Ninja 250R from a kawasaki dealership in the states...probably one closest to Toronto but still in the states....Any idea how much it will cost to do all that like how much are taxes on the bike? Shipping? Duties? and bringing the bike across the border? I know there's a sticky on this but it didn't say anything about prices and stuff plus no one responded there.

Yeah, there awesome and cheap and insurance is decent compared to the ninja 650r, yeah i heard there's no duties on them either, but you never know.

Yea, why don't u want until its comes to canada.. Probably will be introduced around Feb-April
Just be patient. if u do buy it now, u are not going to get to touch it until feb-april anyways.

i was going to buy it in February anyways...I was just looking into it cause i wasn't sure if they were gonna introduce it here

read the sticky.
If its not on the RIV list of admisable vehicles then you won't be able to bring it in.

i want to import one myself too... maybe we could get a good deal on them if we buy them at the same dealer????

The reason there isn't anything about prices is because duty and taxes caluculated at presentages. ie tax 14% etc (there is no duty on bikes, as stated in the sticky) I suggest if you are really serious about finding out how much you are looking at read page 1 of the sticky and contact the phone numbers for customs etc to get an online quote.
