Windbell Motorcycle on East Esplandae In North Vancouver. I saw a few Honda Bros and a rare Honda 900 enduro (like the Dakar version) there.

The 15yr rule applies to MC that are intended to be licenced. There should be no issue with importing a MC of any year for off-road/track use.

I would stick to the 15 year old rule. Better to be safe than sorry. If you would like to import some bikes I may be able to help but you need to know specifically what (15yr old) bike you want to order.

Just for fun I went into icbc a few days ago to register and plate my newly traded in little 150 honda, and when registering it she said "honda" while looking at my previous vehicle registrations...... I looked her in the eye and said is it going to be an issue that its a RHD? she looked at me with Anoyance in her eyes, I went to say I was joking but she put her hand up to silence me and get me to hold on as she phoned ICBC to find out how to procede, after a couple of different people she got passed on to, she looked at me and asked ,"are you sure its a RHD, and i smiled and said, its a SCOOTER, the throttle is on the right. side . She Still did not stop. she got off the phone and said that since it wasent an new import its in the computer so nothing else would be needed.
I was litterally shaking my head...... I walked out with my plate and paperwork chuckling away....thinking of the movie "the darwin awards"
