If you are going to be living/based in the UK I'd suggest you buy there. But if you decide to go ahead with buying in mainland Europe, do your homework first on potential problems.
You cannot register the bike in some countries unless you are resident.
Problems getting insurance on foreign-registered bikes.
If you live in the UK you can't legally drive a foreign-registered bike that belongs to you—you don't comply with the temporary import rules, see https://www.eurococ.eu/en/blog/drivi...egistered-car/
And if you do decide to permanently import the bike you will need a certificate of compliance and will have to ensure lights and instruments conform to UK regulations.
