I'm not saying it can't be done, but the import category would change. With a motorcycle as a personal possession it makes sense you'd want to import it, ride it, take it home. Motorcycle parts would typically be imported for sale to the customs would ask more questions.
I would also suggest you need to ask about the Austrian version of the TUV, rules vary but in parts of Europe you can't just call yourself a mechanic and build a bike. A whole bike on temporary personal import would only need to meet NZ rules. Would a bike "built" from parts have to a) be assembled by an approved builder, b) meet Austrian regulations, c) pass an Austrian inspection of road worthiness, d) need to be registered.
