Buying a bike across the border

[Krusty]

Hey people
I was looking at bike sales.com and I've found 2011 busas' in QLD for $16490 ride away.If I was to buy the beast unregistered up there get it trucked to Syd would there any probs getting a new bike registered down here?

[Skidmarx]

i wouldnt think so, iv had mates do it before, obviously u need to get a roadworthy in your state, but a new bike shouldnt have any dramas passing with flying colours

Thanks mate its way cheaper than anything I've found down hear.
It's either that or I fly up there and ride it back to run it which could be an experience.

Ring Tim at Bowral Motorcycles. He is a good mate of mine and is the dealer principle/owner.

Tell him Ryan (from QLD) told you to ring him and he will hook you up with which ever one/colour you want, he'll be able to beat that price I'm sure.

Bowral is about an hour and a bit south of Sydney.

That's a really good deal mate.I made a few phone calls 2day while trying to be a plumber in Syd,and I quoted some of these great prices I saw on bikesales.
western moto said we cant match that but we'll give it to you for 17800 on + 10% of bits,fking big deal!!!!!!!!!!!.

Hi,
I bought mine from QLD because it had only 7000K's and was very cheap and not a mark on it. Got shipped down which cost me $300.00.
Round in NSW got nothing that's cheap.

all you have to do is get a blue slip and green slip (got mine last week from gio which was the cheapest)and go to the rta with all the infomation you have on the bike and I fully insured it before I went to the rta,I did not need a licence plate number,but its up to you.I got mine from vic but handed the plates in at a vic rta but you can do it in nsw if you like.The rta will tell you they may do a random check on the sale but it is all good if the whole deal was legit,enjoy.

Dave thanks for the heads up on the rego it's a big help and doesn't seem as bad as what i was thinkin.
If Ryans mate Tim can't do much more I might look into the 16490 ones in qld.
