Bike to Spain. Help with what I don't know..
 
I want to send my Honda to Spain to ride around while on a business trip using Air Canada to fly it there.

I will stay for 3 months in Spain and then leave Spain and store the bike for 6 months, then go back for another 3 months and then take the bike out of Spain and the EU flying the bike back to Canada or on to a new country.

The questions I need help with are this...
1. What are the point of entry fees when I go to get the bike at the Barcelona Airport?
2. Can I ride on my Canadian Motorcycle licence or do i need an International Driving Permit?

What other problems/issues am I over looking?

Thanks in advance for the help everybody

EU citizens can use their driving licences for two years, non-EU citizens for six months. I guess you would be OK as you would be doing two three-month periods.

However you are not allowed to temporarily import a vehicle for more than six months. So you would need to be able to claim you've had the bike out of the country for some of that time.

Hana at MotoAdvenTours might be able to help with both the storage and the point of entry question.

Hi.
We here at motofeirme have had USA motorcycles in storage for over 4 years with zero issues.
As long as you are a non EU citizen carrying a passport and DL you should be fine.
