If you are talking about Canada - it is NOT possible to legally import it except as a racing machine (track only) or museum / show piece (display only).
Shipping is a moot point. |

It is easier and cheaper to just buy it at home, not to mention the hassle of trying to register a bike with a non-existent VIN.
