My research is complete (including response from NSW motor vehicles), and I'm giving up on the idea.
As Cormanus points out, I would indeed have to sign a piece of paper stating that I have a permanent residence and address in the state where I'm registering the motorcycle.
Thanks, but no, thanks.
As a general parting note (if I may):
I've traveled the world long and wide, and learned one thing: in a foreign country it is extremely unwise to operate on the fringes of the law, even if "everybody does it". I'll readily do it in my own country, where I know exactly what the odds are, but not in a jurisdiction where I'm at the mercy of bureaucracy whose modus operandi I'm completely unfamiliar with.
Cheers everybody and thanks for all the comments.
