Help Importing a motorcycle to Ontario from Greece

I am looking at importing my friends 1994 CBR 400rr Fireblade from Greece into Canada. Does anyone have any experience doing so and is it worth my time and money?

Importing a Motor Vehicle To Canada (the be all end all)

Tired of all the post about this topic so here it is the be all end all... Hopefully this can be made a sticky. What to do before you import? - Make sure your vehicle is admissible and can be modified to meet Canadian requirements by checking Transport Canada’s List of Admissible Vehicles...

Thanks, seems like it’ll be quite a hassle to bring it over eh?

... and once you get it here you're going to find there is no easy parts source for a foreign market Honda. You'll be buying parts in Japan or Australia

If it was easy, everyone would be riding gray market bikes.
 
At least it's old so it's possible. Price per km ridden will be damned high due to upfront costs and parts import. Cool bike though. Only you can decide whether it is worth it.
 
Saw one at a shop in Etobicoke. Had a load of 250-400 sport and naked bikes. I think he wanted $5 or $6 K imported and road legal. Wanted 3.5 to $4 K for the naked CB400f models. Even had one RVF400 Honda but big money.

If you can import it, good luck licencing it. Track use only.

That’s not true. It’s over 15 years old so it is exempt from having to be on the RIV admissible list to be legal here. Import it, safety it and ride. Insurance may be tricky but it’s doable.

@AngeloDeligi start with the register of imported vehicles. www.riv.ca they won’t do it for you but that is the government agency in charge of individuals importing vehicles. They will tell you what you need.

I definitely won’t be riding the bike very much. This bike is much too special to risk breaking something, it’ll be my garage Queen most likely.
