Thames is only 60 or so miles from Auckland. I can be there in less than an hour. Come get it. I can supply the place to stay and the means of getting to it.
Bike shop in a small town like Thames, might beat the price down a bit. Convert it to US dollars and I guess you are looking at around $7K. An almost brand new scooter for that price should be good. Shipping could be written off as a holiday down under and as its coming up to summer and the best time for touring down here, it might just be worth it. Its not a bad wee chunk of land to ride around.
I've just been notified of a longish holiday after january, so I might even come with you.
