  • Motorcycles in the USA tend to cost a lot less than they do in Canada, so here's how to import a motorcycle from the USA to Canada and save a lot of money.
    BASED ON THE ARTICLE:
    www.youmotorcy...
    I've broken it down into seven steps:
    Step 1) Make sure the motorcycle you want to import from the US to Canada is allowed in Canada
    Step 2) Know the rules so you can know how to save money
    Step 3) Know what you’re getting yourself into
    Step 4) Do the paperwork
    Step 5) Get insurance (if riding it)
    Step 6) Transporting your motorcycle (if not riding)
    Step 7) Crossing the border
    Step 8) What to do in Canada

    for almost all states, out of state buyers don't pay state taxes. You pay taxes in the province you register it. You will pay GST at the border and any provincial tax when you register.

      ​@@YouMotorcycle I only have a Canadian M2. So I found out that Progressive will insure you with an Ontario licesense. But I'm not sure, If I can get the bike registered with a foreign license. I'm going there this month so will find out. Harley's are so much cheaper there and they are everywhere.

      If you have a Ontario M2 than you have a domestic license so why not get insurance with that?

    Thanks for the info. We've had the provincial inspection done and Canadian Tire has told us that they do not inspect motorcycles. Is this something new?

      Could be location dependent or could be something new. I'm not sure and I don't have any affiliation with Canadian Tire.

      Nope, I'm in Canada, sorry. Typically though, you guys tend to have a lot more options down there, so your odds of finding a deal south of the border are probably better.

    The info you provided is quite jumbled, you started by saying " If you want to ride your bike into Canada, then do this, ...", But then on step 8 you said that once in Canada you wont be able to ride the bike until you send in Form 2 and this can take days. So that's kind of bad info. Also in the U.S. you can obtain an International driver license very easily. I did it 4 years ago when I went to Switzerland. You need to check your info before posting,... just saying. Lots of people gets stranded at the border with vehicle they cant bring in because of bad info.

      I haven't watched this video in three years since it was published so I don't know what you mean, but if the key message of your comment is "You need to check your info before posting" I just want to point out that, yes, as an American, YOU can get an international driver's license very easily... however, Canadians looking to get an international driver's license will not.
      That being said, if you're certain that you're more knowledgeable and can better communicate information on this subject better, than you should make a video doing that to help other riders out. Lots of people gets stranded at the border with vehicle they cant bring in because of bad info, so you should make your video to help them as soon as you can.

      @@RZ500G35 If pretending to know things "just to put content out" was my end goal, why would I choose a tiny niche topic like importing from US to Canada, when the vast majority of people on youtube, my audience included, are US-based and uninterested in that topic?

    You gave good info but you made this video five months ago and there’s been the border shutdown to crossing for non essential persons! This is a non essential situation! So , maybe another video would help me and many others if you informed us about a broker carrier and shipping from NY State in particular cause they have a conflict between their federal and state governments when doing title searches! So I won’t give a thumbs up but you don’t deserve one down either

      Hey Eddie. I only make videos on topics I have experience/knowledge on, so I won't be able to help you with brokers or shipping from the US to Canada.
      The good news for you is, since brokers and carriers do their work for profit, compared to me who runs this channel at a financial loss because I enjoy helping motorcyclists do things themselves, I bet the businesses you want to learn more about will have no problem answering all of your questions.
