Importing a bike into the US without a Motorcycle license
First post on here after lurking for information for my first motorcycle tour. My friend and I (both Americans) bought a Honda GL125 in Lima, Peru and are driving it back home to Chicago, currently in Quepos, Costa Rica.
My question is about the process to bring a motorcycle into the USA with foreign plates (Peru) while neither my friend or I have motorcycle licenses in the US. My friend will be keeping the bike and will get his license eventually but preferably after reaching Chicago from Mexico. Is it possible (i.e. legal) to drive through the states without first getting a motorcycle license.
Also, how is the process for permenently importing a motorcycle perchased abroad into the US? I do not know if this model is sold in the US and don't know if that will cause us any isses with importation.
Thanks a lot!
