You pay 0 duty on any bike that is made for the US market. My bike, made in Italy, but for the US market, no duty... there are no duties on bikes. Just finished the import process today, went to CTC got the RIV inspection and safety done (took them about 30 minutes to do both), then went to...

I got my form 2 in my email in less than a week.

MTO will not license it until it has been inspected, and you can't get it inspected without form 2. Also you can ride it until the temp expires and that's it.

Canadian Tire is the only place you can get the RIV inspection done. The bike needs a speedo in Kph. All bikes in US and Canada have DTR anyways so you will be ok there. If its a new bike you won't have any worries. CTC will also want to do you for a safety, not sure if you need it or not... I...

Hotel room... Fax the title and bill of sale and whatever else you need then call em to be sure they got it, then hang out for the 3 days... Can get motel 6's for $40 a night.. Before you buy it.. make sure its admissible!! I found the RIV people easy to deal with, give them a call and ask...

Looks like the Ambassador bridge is your only choice, close to the GTA anyways. Sault is 24/7 as well.

That is correct, check www.ucanimport.com for at least some of the listings. Look under the resources section.

Well I have almost completed successfully buying then riding a bike back from the US. I have been through customs and paid my RIV dues. Now I need to get it inspected and then go visit the MTO for plates etc. I purchased a new 2008 Moto Guzzi 1200 sport from a dealer in Seattle. I flew out...

You can call the border crossing they will be bringing it through. That would be your best bet.

You can't get one in Ontario, check the state you are buying from and check all the rules. You can likely get one there and ride it back. If its new you won't have any problems see if the dealer can put a temp license on it, or if you need to. Sounds like you should make sure they don't...

There is a document which lists what can and can't be imported on the RIV site..

They give you the temp plate before or after the bike had been imported? All the bikes I am referring to are brand new, mine as well as the others I referenced in the last post.

Skurj is 100% right My dealer is attaching the temporary plate. The MTO confirmed that I can legally ride the bike in canada on that tag until it expires. MTO also said I could not get a trip permit for a bike that has not been safetied in Ontario, and legally imported. I have also been in...

You cannot get a temporary permit for any vehicle that has not been registered in Ontario. Before you can get the temp plate in Ontario, the bike must have had the RIV inspection done and in compliance. You can use the temp permit from the state you bought the bike until it expires (in ontario)

What does the manufacturer say? My new bike is synthetic only as outlined in the manuals, and recommended by the techs as well.

David you should be able to see better behind you. I sold the bike before I could fit them. Shoot me an email to skurjz@rogers.com I will be home after 4pm the rest of the week and the weekend.

Then prepare to be shocked, because it is much worse.

Check out twistedthrottle.com they have a variation on that sort of thing.

Don't know yet Triple.. I am picking it up in Seattle in mid-June and then riding it back. I will have an answer by the end of June though +)

I'm hoping something like this fills the gap nicely... not really a sport bike, nor a touring bike. But 23L of fuel, shaft and integrated luggage... (not my bike, stole this pic off the internet.. mine will be black!)
