The only thing you have to pay is the appropriate tax (which you would pay in Canada anyways).
You don't have to pay the RIV fees since the bike you are buying is a closed course competiton vehicle, Make sure you make that clear when you go into to pay.
It really depends on how far you have to go to get the bike and how good of an exchange rate you can get on your CDN dollar.
If you buy one, make sure you get the original title. You have to forward the title and the bill of sale to the border crossing that you are going to use 72 hours before you cross. Just fax it there. Then when you get to the border, go into the US customs office to get the title stamped, then go through the cdn border telling them what you are doing. You will bring the paperwork into the cdn border, fill out a form, pay GST (on the converted amount of your purchase), and you are on your way. In fact, you won't even have to fill out the paperwork if you have that sticker on the back of the bike.
It sounds more complicated than it is. Depending on how far you have to go to pick up the bike and what kind of extra cost you have to incur, you will definitely save money. I prefer to buy bikes in the US that come from colder climates as they won't have the same number of hours on them. Do your homework of course. But a bit of patience and a bit of paperwork can save you a bundle of cash, especially with the strength of our dollar right now.
