Yep
Ive just been through the whole process of trying to get my africa twin into AU on a permanent import application had the bike out here for 2 yrs on a carnet then went for it they only knocked me back because i owned the bike in uk for 10 months not 12 just red tape bulls&*t.the only way to keep my bike is to send it back to the uk and bring it back in parts minus the forks,wheels and handlebars then rebuild it in an AU reg frame(which im doing now ).My AT frame isnt allowed to be used but i can still bring it back into the country you would think they would say dont bring the frame back and let me keep the wheels?I also asked if i could keep the engine and fairing etc and have everything else destroyed and they said 'no it came in as a bike it has to leave as a bike',so for future refernce you can bring a bike in on a CDP in parts,rebuild it when it gets here and keep what you want at the end,easy.
