As far as I know (I'm just came over crom Gegamny to Australia and
planing to buy a bike for an outback trip...):
(the following is from as book of a german biker who did bring his bike
two australia 4 years ago)
Tax ? - (it is 24% of the actual price, when you just want to drive the
bike in Oz an bring ist back afterwords - then you would get those 24%
back - It will definetly different if you want to import ist - then you
probably have to pay the usual tax (but maybe you woin't have to pay
taxes in Japan ;-) )
Engineers Certificatt - about A$700
complains-plate - about A$70
Greeting from Perth!
