Registering a British bike in Brazil - permanent import,Possible?

[maria41]

Hey everyone,

our plans have been changing a lot recently.

We are moving permanently to Brazil from the UK.
We are selling most of our bikes but wondering if it is possible to import used (as opposed to brand new!) motorbikes in Brazil?

Anyone tried? any idea in term of costs?

Cheers,

Hi Mario,
thanks.
I found the Brazilian Customs website and they are very clear. Not allowed!

Oh well we will sell all our bikes and buy some overthere. A little Honda Falcon for me seems nice!

We are moving to Rio in the next 2 or 3 months as soon as my husband's company sort out the details.

Cheers

hey maria forget to say it is possible to import a vehicle , i think if it is over either 25 or 30yrs old still the hassle but might be worth it ,i bought a falcon last month great bike just cant stop riding it,check out advrider they is a small community of expats here ,ps let us know when you arrive abracos ADVrider - Search Results
