The first thing you need to think about is how much experience do I have importing something into Thailand. If the answer is no experience, you should forget about importing a motorcycle.
You probably aware that you cannot import any secondhand motorcycle into Thailand. With this in mind, how do you going to proof to the Thai authorities that the motorcycle you import as a private person is new? Just because the motorcycle is the latest model and is still in plastic and shipping box on its original transport pallet is for the Thai authorities no proof that the motorcycle is new.
