Thanks all for the replies.
I'm indeed based in Poland now but have Luxembourg citizenship. I'm not officially residing in Poland yet however. As I was going on this long trip I thought I'd go over the residency paperwork upon my return.
I purchased the bike in April 2018 (I have the invoice of course, paid in full with bank wire) and don't plan to end my trip before April - probably later.
So in theory I could manage to prove 1+ year of ownership and more than 6 months of use. If I could have VAT and import taxes waved off, then I would definitely consider bringing the bike to Europe.
However my case is not the usual one is this sense that I was never officially residing in Canada where I bought the bike. So the big question is how much taxes I'd have to pay.
I suppose I'm not the first EU citizen considering bringing his bike back to Europe.
As for the registration in EU I'm not too worried as I've come across imported DRs in Europe with legal plate number - including in Germany and in Poland.
