US Bikes to Canada
Hello,
New member here, just mulling over a first Harley purchase and seeking advice on jumping through the “hoops” associated with bringing a US purchased bike back with me into MB, Canada.
I’m hoping any savings I may realize will make the required mods/paperwork hassle worth it in the end. Thoughts from those who may have tried the same? Thanks!

I have been down that road a number of times with importing cars and have looked at bringing a bike back. Without going into a lot of detail my experience is that the math never makes sense to bring back a lower priced used bike. There are just too many low mile bikes available in Canada that unless it is a rare or high cost custom you want, you are probably better off buy locally
When you add the cost of travelling to see the bike (or third party inspection) , shipping, import taxes, out of country and out of province inspection, currency fx etc. there wont be an savings
