Enfiled
I purchased a new one a couple of years ago when in New Delhi from Maddan Motors. They arranged the freight, which was cheap as chips until it reached our docks (then they really rip into you with a range of fees, just like the Banks). For OZ it is really important NOT to have it shipped in a wooden crate or the like. Quarantine will not believe any "Fumigation Certificate" from India. Use no wood what-so-ever in the freighting.
Mine was a reconditioned "1965" 500cc so registering it here was very easy. I had the "logbook" from 1965 to support the date of manufacture and the frame numbers and engine number aligned with the logbook. Having said that we have a scheme that allows any vehicle over 25 year of age to get either a 45 or 90 day permit that allows us to use it for not more than that number of days per year. The days need not be consecutive. It is roughly a dollar a day cost. Excellent idea when, like me, you have a number of such vehicles.
The paperwork at this end such as the Import Permit etc is very easy.
Good luck wiht it.
