Buying a new motorcycle for export in Japan

I want to buy a new Honda in Japan to export to Cambodia. Importing to Cambodia isn't my worry, buying the bike is. The only sites I can find offer bikes at 20-40% more than retail price. That doesn't sound too appealing. Curious if I have to pay sales taxes, if I will export the bike. Also looking for the best price. Shipping will be secondary, but I'm less worried about that, as shipping is a fairly straight forward process. Any leads on a website, dealer, or English speaking contact info would be much appreciated. This bike is new, and readily available. Thanks in advance.

you can't buy a new non-registered bike. you buy a new bike with registration in Japan. then, erase the registration for export.

OK. What is the best way to go about doing that? Aside from going to Japan.

The question I have is why, if you're not in Japan, would you want to buy a motorcycle for export FROM there to Cambodia? Why not go to the country of origin for the motorcycle you'd like and then export from there. Or perhaps to Cambodia and then buy it in Kip and subsequently import it (good luck with THAT). Seriously, unless you're looking for a hopped up Hyabusa or something exotic, then you can buy it in the UK or US, or Canada or wherever you're typing from, and arrange shipment. Japan is notoriously expensive regarding taxes and registration fees, and most Japanese I know actually leave the country to buy big ticket items (like autos, etc, for export to a 3rd country.

Japan is the country of origin for the bike I'm looking for. The specific model, NC750X, is not sold in the USA. The bike is much cheaper in Japan than it is in neighboring Thailand. My reasoning is sound. Quite.
