I could not tell by the way he responded with nothing much of help.
As soon as I find out I will share the details. I am in the process of contacting the territory registering authority for Sydney.
No worries. The other thing to work out is how much the duty (I think 5%) and GST (10% of the total value including freight and duty) will be. The value of the cycle is derived from the Australian market price not the US market price.
Mate when you get to Oz it pays to have a thicker skin. Folks will like to tease you.. throw it right back and you'll be all right. I got teased for being a yank, for George Bush, etc. etc. Since I could throw it right back I got along well with my mates.
People on this thread were, myself included, trying to give you realistic advise about your car. I did not provide any on motorcyles as I couldn't. There is at least one person here that has moved from the US to Oz.. me.
Location: Central Bay Area, CA as of Jan 2010...but still a proud Texan from Houston!

Thanks mate but I already have thick skin and can take jokes very well. I am very playful and fun! Most people that meet me are tickled pink at how upbeat and quick witted I am. It is not easy to tell if someone is joking on a written forum.
I am a very resourceful person and I have found all that I need in order to get my bike over there. I also learned about the car regulations along the way.
Where did you live in the states? How long have you been in Oz?

Well just making sure as you were a tad sensitive in your posts above.
I also said that I can't tell on a written forum when someone is joking...especially someone I don't know.
Most people would take the winky as a clue that it's probably a joke.
