    In the case of importing a bike registered in Canada or USA do the NCT bods request a Cert. of Conformacy?
    In particular a European or Japanese brand. Maybe that would attract less scrutiny than a US-made brand.

    Anyone have experience of a US import - Harley or Jap or European? Did you have to chase down a CoC from a dealer? Thanks.

    One came with a Belgian bike I got last year.

    I hope it's something special or has sentimental value, otherwise I can't see it being worth it.

    Like a low-miles, VGC, older bike for instance? Load of them over there - time-warp stuff!
