Correct. Technically (and it may depend on local laws) your bike needs to be legal "at home" to be legal "abroad". But as you say, for travel of more than a year this isn't possible as the MoT will expire and there's no way to renew it. So you SORN, to avoid getting fines back in UK. I've never heard of anybody checking "abroad" - as long as you have local insurance they're generally happy.
There is a way past this if it worries you. Bikes less than 3 years old do not require MoT testing.

Yes, you can insure a bike that is SORNed and not MoT'd.
