I did the same a few years ago with a new Honda XR125 I bought in South Africa and getting it here worked well. I actually used a home removals company and it came by sea in a shared container which meant it had to wait until the company had filled the container which was about a month in my case then six weeks to get here. What was also good about using the removals company was that it included picking up the crate from the dealer, handling the paperwork, customs clearance at both ends and delivery to my home address, I did have to fill in a customs declaration, pay the VAT and send the paperwork to the shippers before the container got here.
Your next problem could be registering it, I already had an XR125 that I had scrapped and transfered the registration over which was quite easy but with nothing to start with you could look into single vehicle approval but I would check this out before spending your money.
The shipping company I used only worked in Africa so is of no use to you.
If you go ahead with this let us know how you get on.
