Warming up the thread.
Regarding the EU citizen riding a bike that is registered outside the EU.
It is not allowed and dangerous.
A court case went through the media not too long ago.
A swiss national went on vacation for two weeks and loaned his car to his German friend in Munich. The guy now using the car was stopped by the police and in the end charged with tax fraud. He ended up paying more than €5000 in tax and fines.
So, as a UK citizen you have to import the bike with roughly 8% customs and 21% VAT.
