As the original question in this thread was not answered I ask it again. Are there any restrictions in terms of time or additional costs as to if or when I am allowed to sell one or both of these bikes?
I've just returned to CH and was looking at importing my bike. Although I finally decided to sell the bike and buy another one here, I read that you have to keep it for one year from date of import to avoid paying the GST. Apparently, renting or loaning your vehicle during that period could also being you the attention of the custom office.

The road traffic office (Service des automobiles / Strassenverkersamt) should be able to confirm.

Here is a site with some unofficial information (unfortunately, I couldn't find any official documentation):
