short answer dont bother way too much redtape

other answer guy on another forum from hawaii who moved here brought his 1098 as a personal
import and ended up costing $7K out of pocket for the experience

if you had a specific bike or a emotional attachment then the option is there ut time and money is against you

anything pre 89 is much easier as well.  post 89 there is a list of bikes you can bring in easily (not sure what it's called now, ask dotars) which my life insurance man uses to bring in Harleys with his dad - his brother lives in the usa.

make sure, whatever you do, that the bike doesn't leave the usa without all the bureaucracy in place.  otherwise, when it gets here, you get the option of send it back again or crush it.

that bikes abroad site has a link to dotars.  read all the info on the dotars site, it pretty much spells it out.

generally the only difference is the mph speedo and the rh dip headlight.  other non genuine stuff like non sae stamped braided lines, etc, can be an issue.
