I don't want to be a PITA, but I'm going to be, because I've been dealing with European Legislation as it effects motorcyclists for a number of years.

First of all , don't do anything silly like ''creating'' documents. European customs/police are getting shit hot on real global import/registration documentation and can spot a dud very easily. With the tightening of borders due to global unrest, customs also check everything and everyone that comes in to Europe with a vehicle , and are meticulous with paperwork.

The European Union has some very strict rules on vehicles in circulation anywhere in Europe, and this applies to foreign registered (temp imported) vehicles also. Basically, all vehicles in circulation on European roads, must conform to the roadworthiness regulations of the country of registration. If your bike no longer conforms, ( ie no valid registration ) then it is basically illegal on European roads.

There could be serious financial implications if you are involved in any incident.

Minimum Third Party ( or civil reponsibility) insurance is compulsory throughout the Union, and for insurance to be valid, then the vehicle must conform to all apsects of the roadworthiness requirements. If it isn't ( ie unregistered in it's home country) then insurance ( even third party) is nothing more than an expensive piece of paper.

You may find that insurers or their agents will ask for proof of ownership ( title) as well as current valid registration and your driving licence etc.

Make sure that you organise insurance in advance, you can't just buy it at the point of entry like you can elsewhere in the world, and customs clearance may depend on it. They won't let you leave the building without proof of Insurance.

Coming into Europe is nowhere near as easy as it was even 10 years ago, and it's not just a question of turning up at a border and trusting your luck. Get yourself prepared well in advance.

Good luck!
