Import EU to USA Bike Process???

[strmboui]

I have read several posts concerning this subject and they are all over ten years old. I was wondering if there is any current knowledge on the subject concerning the newest EU spec motorcycles import to the US?

If you have any information concerning this process I would appreciate your assistance.

I currently live in Germany and want to purchase a new Honda Africa Twin (in Germany, EU Spec) ride it for 3-5 years and then ship back to the USA.

The 2016 Honda Africa Twin is sold in both the EU and the US. There are no differences in the different spec bikes as to EPA, safety equipment or materials. These bikes are identical. The only thing I can think of is that the Muffler may not have the US DOT stamp on the wheel side. However, each has a separate catalytic converter and the EU EPA has a higher standard than the US.

Thanks,
