how much were you thinking of spending? why not get greenbacks in the uk from your bank and bring cash? avoid fees, transfers, problems. however, if yo bring more than 10k in any currency, you must declare it. fail to do so and there's a good chance it will confiscated. contrary to what some may believe, there IS NOT PROHIBITION against bringing more than 10k, you just have to declare it. be honest and say you plan to buy a moto.
also, it is not really a 5 minute procedure for a foreigner to open a bank account. while it is not as difficult as it is in other countries it's not 5 minutes.
