2kids3pets, Who Tiod You THAT??????
I just picked up a '09 EG Classic and imported it from the Free-Range state of Organism, (just shouth of Geo. WA). All I do is fill in the change of ownership forms and the original warranty follows the bike to my garage.
Now, if you buy a NEW one and import it, you got nutt'n. But a used one? Full balance.

I have heard of some exception that Ford was honoring a US purchased vehicle in Canada. There may be other but not certain. I would check before I laid down my money

well i was lookin at this spring maybe selling off the little sporty i got and buying a new dyna so i log on to the offical HD site for the US priced out the 2010 dyna wideglide 14,400 base price, thinking to myself well thats not entirely to bad. i decided to check out the canadian price for the 2010 dyna wide glide $17,999 + 13% tax+ frieght+ whatever the dealer marks it up as. holy crap batman.
and to top it off the currency exchange on $14,400 brings it to only $15,699 at todays rate.
man there goes my plans for buying a new one without having to sell a kidney LOL

If you are on a limited income, sounds like you should pursue a used bike. Look around in the US (Craigslist & Ebay) can offer some good deals but you have to be patient.
Good luck

that seems pretty typical......the ultra classic limited I was looking at retails here for $32,000 and if I'm not mistaken in the US it's going for $27,000 roughly....
hell a 30 pack of bud here goes for $53 and in the US I got one from an AM/PM for $17
I really want to move south of the border.....*sigh*

Hi Folks,
I know this is an older thread, but since the dollar is almost par again still relevant.
On the warranty issue, cmgonline did an article a couple of years ago and had a quote from a Deeley PR person that said - "With Harley-Davidson motorcycles the warranty travels with the vehicle – whether it's cross-border or not"

The cdn dealer would probably still give you a hassle, but it looks like they do have to warranty the bike.
Thoughts?
