There are some tips for bringing your own bike in at

if you want to take a look.
As a fellow biker, it’s easy to understand why you don’t want to leave your bike behind, but importing your own bike into Thailand is not really a very good option.
You are allowed to import your bike temporarily, for the length of your visa; but then both you and the bike have to go out of the country, at best every 3 months. Some guys have been able to this for at least 18 months, but after a while it does get to be a bit of a pain. However if you think that this won’t bother you; then ship your bike to either Singapore or KL in Malaysia, just ride it into Thailand, and see how you go doing monthly or 3-monthly visa runs.
Another option is to consider buying Rudis “Saxonator” VT1100 Shadow, which is up for sale
The Pha Daeng Mansion
This is already licenced and ready to go.
This would certainly save a lot of time and expense, you could be up and running within a few days of hitting Chiang Mai!
