Well you can drive it to Belize or ship via a container of some sort, but either way unless you're in the QRP (Qualified Retirement Program), you will have to pay duties at Customs.

You will need to disclose the age, condition and what you think the value is. Depending on customs mood, I've heard duties can run as much as 65%, but sometimes less. I've never seen any hard and true facts on this matter.

I will tell you that as far as I know, getting a good motorcycle here is not easy, so if you have one, it's not a bad idea to bring, even if you have to pay a lot.
