Transfering the Australian registration of the bike would be possible, although you will need to pay some stamp duty and it will get tricky if the registration has expired.
Registration is undertaken on a state basis and you can transfer ownership without actually venturing into the relevant state licensing office.
Providing the registration of the bike is still current, the seller should be able to indicate on the back of the registration document that the vehcile has been sold and who the purchaser is. You will then have to arrange for the documents to be sent to the relevant state authority and pay any stamp duty on the purchase. Indicate that the purchase price is low and hence the corresponding duty will also be low.
This will get very difficult if the bike's registration has expired and it is over three years old, as they would most likely require a roadworthiness inspection.
If this is the case, forget it and find another way!
Good luck
