Before you start any paperwork importing it into France, visit a bike insurance company. Find the model nearest to what you have and write that down (EXACTLY) use this to describe the bike in ALL your documentation. If the exact mode you have was never imported into France it will be very difficult to "matriculate". Having a model number that is on the government list will make life a lot easier.
ATM I am trying to import a Triumph thunderbird and have been at it most of the year. Triumph are no use at all just interested in getting 1,000's from me to rebuild it to the French model.
Never had a problem before with other bikes or cars.
