Buying Vehicle In Canada And Bringing To U.S.

I live very close to the border therefore a lot of the things I find on craiglist are across the border and worth the trip. However I have never taken up any of those offers until now. I have never actually even been to canada as a matter of fact (and I like 45 minutes away, weird right?).

Anyway, I have been looking at motorcycles and have been finding quite a few right across the border. Yeah I could hold out and look for one in the states but that's becoming a pain, the ones that are within a couple hours always dissapear by the time I find out about them.

Looking at a yamaha r6, located in Vancouver, and I am trying to figure out what all it takes to get it across the border. Have been looking online but I am just getting confused. I assume there is gonna be a bunch of taxes I will have to pay if going this route, maybe not even worth it. But looking for some help with the steps of what I gotta do?
