i've basically been given a 2006 kawasaki zzr600 from a buddy in canada but i've never imported a vehicle before. i'm planning on flying up there and then riding it back to oklahoma (long ride i know). anybody here that has done this before? also, i kno this is a kat forum but does anybody know if there are any differences between the canadian model zzr's and the us models. i know there are emissions regulations that i'll need to meet when importing it.

from what i've seen so far i can't find any differences between the us and canadian zzr600. i plan on calling both the us and canadian kawasaki offices today after work to find out more info. thx for the help so far and i'll keep u guys updated on what i find and what happens. also thanks for the tx info, but i'm in oklahoma now lol, sorry my info wasn't updated. i gotta take the kat up to the tag agency today so i'll ask them about what i'm going to need.

I purchased my GS500 from someone in Canada but drove it back on a truck - no issues whatsoever, had to show paperwork of course. Driving it back is a different ball game. I would definitely ask your friend to check DMV laws up there as far as the border patrol is and your local DMV.

ok i talked to kawasaki today, sadly i couldn't talk to the canadian branch but the bike was made here in the US so i talked to the US branch and they said if the bike was made in the US for canada it matches US bikes and should meet all emissions standards, etc. talked to the owner today and the speedo is MPH and local dmv said all i need to get it tagged and the canadian title transfered is same stuff i need if it was a US bike. so overall its looking pretty good. gotta look up taxes and stuff to make sure i got all that covered but it looks like its all gonna work out. thanks for the help guys
