Registering a bike that is from Japan ..

Lol>

Thanks. Dont need to read the novel. Besides that for importing from the US to here ..

The bike is already here, but not registered.

Dont know if its worth the hassle or not ..
 
Sweet whatd you get? Some of those little jap bikes are badass.
 
Im guessing you were getting a good deal on it? Nuak's bikes are a bit over priced but those little I4 250's are really cool. I'd love to have an RVF400 for street riding.
 
Will it cost you to get the registration and bill of sale translated for the Ministry?

You may be able to write an afidavit stating the circumstances of the sale and that the bike was legally imported into Canada. You then go to a lawyer or Notary Public and swear that the info is true and he stamps it. You then go to the Ministry with all the paperwork you have and they give you an unfit vehicle permit. Then you get it certified and you can get your fit vehicle permit with plates. However I'd make the person you are buying it from do all of this (unless you're going to get a $1000 discount).

Holy ****...buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it and even IF you don't ride it, put it up on your wall and stare at it. Like art.

Better yet, buy it, and swing by my place and let me dry hump it.


P.S. Outside of this, I have no worthwhile contribution I can make to your dilemma.
 
Trust me. IF i thought for a second i could get it and register it, i would.

It sounds according to the ministry, customs and the guys at NUAK, that its PITA.

I even considered it as a track bike but its too damn pretty to destroy it.
 
I know a guy who bought a frame from the U.S., it was for an old Limey bike, maybe a Triumph. He went to the licensing office and explained that he found the frame in a dump with a bunch of other parts and he wanted to resore it. He told them he didn't want to put any money, time or energy into it if he couldn't get it registered. They told him to write a letter and get it notarized. He did that and they gave him the unfit permit. In the letter i think he explained where and when he found it and that he checked with the police to see if it was a stolen motorcycle.
I don't see why the importer can't take the Japanese registration, the bill of sale from the person or company that it was registered to and any shipping papers to the licensing bureau and get the unfit vehicle permit. Does he need the recall letter if it is more than 15 years old?

The recall clearance letter only applies if you are going through the RIV process for a vehicle less than 15 years old from the USA.

You are ripping (I know you really are not ... ) into Nuak's business, so why would he say otherwise, right? Certainly he's been doing it, obviously with a correct paperwork on a large (container scale). Unless he's regularly bribing someone at the ministry it cannot be that difficult, again as long as you have the docs required by the ministry. There must be a way to find out through ministry what's required, but I wouldn't be asking the guy who's running it as his business.
 
Which model NSR250 is it?
mc16, mc18, mc21 or mc28? Three grand is a real good price for a complete running bike. You can see what NUAK sells them for and there's also one for sale on this forum (http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforu...-Street-Legal-2-Stroke-Racing-Legend!-NSR250R).

Lots of cheap plastic on ebay now so you can track it and save the original plastic. I've also seen rs250 fairings on them. I know the 18 and 21 are easy to bump up the hp about 15 ponies with some easy mods. That bike needs to be on the track.

If the vin is questionable, frames come up on ebay from time to time or you can get one from yahoo Japan via a proxy bidder.

Keep in mind, most NSRs will need a full rebuild down to the crank... so best to budget for that as well.
