Hi, there should be no problem with someone else collecting the bike, just make sure they have all the details & list them as the 'notify party', It may be easier for your friend if you use a freight forwarder/customs broker to get the bike out of jail though. The bike will need a quarantine inspection (get it really really clean) & customs clearance to get off the wharf. You can either have a carnet or pay a 15% deposit & get a temporary import cert - see the NZ customs website.
Getting it road legal can be done after you arrive - you need a temporay vehicle licence & a warrant of fitness safety inspection, see the LTNZ website.
Keep us posted on your travels when you arrive
Cheers
Clint
