unless the specific bike is older than 25 years, in which case it's a piece of cake because no DOT or EPA import requirements then apply.
I could send you all the specific website link requirements, and explain why in

You can take my word for it--or not--or dig as deep as you like yourself in the rules & regs; and/or let others chime in, if one informed opinion doesn't work for you.

Agreed - essentially impossible for normal people. The very rich will probably be able to find a way around the regulations.
