Importing personel motorcycle

I dont think it's possible Tim

as I know there's a law against importing used bike to the country and the tax for >175cc bike is high like @#$ so I think you should buy a <175cc bike

p/s: I'm not sure about the law so just forgive me if I'm wrong

I think you can import it and avoid the tax, so long as you don't sell it on, but again this is hearsay... so take it as rumor!

Dear Expats,
I have lived in Vietnam before. I was there for 3 years after 2000 and I bought a blackmarket 250cc Honda Rebel to tour the country. I'm going back soon and want to take a Suzuki 1250cc Bandit into the country.
I know it's impossible to buy one there, but I have been told to import it into Thailand and ride it in on the pretense of being on tour and it's a significant bribe at the border, but OK once you are in.
How true is this?
