You can only register a vehicle in one name.
If the bike is registered in Australia and is not leaving Australia then you won't have nay hassles regardless of who's name it's registered in.
Selling is easier if the person selling it is the registered owner. But there are ways around that using scanned documents.
Not sure what happens if leaving Aus with the bike. I'd say it would be complicated if not in your name.

Thanks for your reply.
I have bought it already and I will leave it in OZ at my friend's.
I will use it to tour Australia.
However, I was also considering to ship it to Santiago (Chile) for a possible tour of South America and then ship it back.
Then, when the time comes, I may re-sell it.
I hope it's now clearer.

Following your advice, I will try to register the bike in my name.
From the 1st post at the head of this thread, I read that I have to show some proof of a residential address within the state ("I used my Hostel accommodation address and all I needed was a copy of a receipt showing that I stayed/was staying there, signed by an employee").
I will be staying at a friend's house. In this case how can I prove my residency? Any suggestion?!

The best thing is to open a bank account with the address as your friends house. Take your friend with you or a ‘receipt’ with the rent you are paying.
Once you have a bank address you are generally sweet.

I am going to be on a tourist visa.
However, as I said, from the first post of this discussion it seems that it possible to show your temporary residency while in Australia - a b'n'b affair. That's why I am asking.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
