For sure that's the case ... manufacturer warranties don't cross borders on pretty much anything you buy. You still have a warranty but its in the country of purchase.
Don't be too worried about getting the tax back. In Canada, we have two different taxes: a federal tax, called the GST (Goods and Services Tax), and a provincial tax, which is simply a sales tax. In a few of the provinces, these two taxes are harmonized (administered as a single tax), which is referred to as the HST (Harmonized Sales Tax).The trick seems to be getting it without paying CAN tax at the dealer, or how to get the tax back from Canada.
I just sold a bike to a fellow in the states, he went to the site for bringing bikes into the US (ST's are allowed) I provided him with the ownerships and receipt and he declared the bike and had no issue bringing the bike in. The whole transaction from sale to import was three days. or about an extra hour at the border. If you have all the paper work from both ends no issue. Nothing was required from the manufacturer.Anyone ever buy a new bike in Canada and bring it back to the states? Or a used bike? With the current $.71 US to $1 CAN the prices look pretty attractive. Any way to get it across the border without paying CAN taxes? Fees??
I paid 4000 for my 2005 ST. 31,000 miles. Mint condition, Hondaline topbox, bar risers.Show me a good price for a new bike in Canada? Just because the US dollar is strong doesn't mean the economics work out. Typically the other country price is high enough to offset the dollar value so it breaks even in the end. Also who wants a speedo in KM??

Hey, Doug... just think how much faster you'll be going.:bow1:Also who wants a speedo in KM??
