Not an expert on this but this is what I have heard. Anything older than 15 years is easy. Anything younger it has to comply with ADRs unless its a personal import. You need to have owned it and been in your possesion overseas for 12 months. Then there's Freight, GST and Duty on anything basically. Could try bringing it in as parts.

court.

if its anything like cars its a 51% import tax of what they deem is a reasonable price (eg: even if you pay 3200 euro, they may say its worth $10000AUD meaning it will cost you more than 5grand in taxes. that is unless you have owned it for more than a year overseas then some other rules apply. the other thing as Jinx said bring it in pieces with no compliance and buy a repairable write-off SV1000 frame from a wrecker and if your lazy chage the vin plates etc over or if you have time change the frames over?
