See this thread for importing a bike. You really won't want to do it.

Technically, you can only convert your unlimited license to a 2b (200 cc or less). Quite a few (me included) have gotten an unlimited conversion. Do a search on 'motorcycle' and you will find lots of relevant threads.

Generally, if you are older and have many years of experience you will get an unlimited. Some people buy a large bike, ride it for 10 months (all legal on your foreign license), then convert with the note that they have already been riding unlimited bikes for 10 months. I've seen this work, too.

Not much in the way of Suzuki's here... except small displacement bikes.
