Hi Jaz. There's nothing stopping you buying the bike and as long as you've got somewhere to store it, just do the paperwork when you get here. There's nothing to getting it registered in your name. All you need is $9.50, a valid NZ address and a driver's licence that reads in English. The thing that says the bike is yours is the seller's receipt. The paperwork is only for where the registration bills/ speeding tickets/parking tickets go to. Get your friends to make sure there is a receipt saying you have paid for the bike in full, and that's the proof. Yes, it IS that simple.
If you're after another bike, I'm about to sell my F650GS. Let me know if you are interested or send me a PM.
Regards
Nigel in NZ (Nth Canterbury)
