Hello
I'd say no to the swiss bike.
In Switzerland the plates are prove of insurance and payed taxes.
The plates don't belong to the bike, they belong to the holder of the current registration of the bike.
The holder of the registration has to return the plates when he sells the bike to you, or pay the insurance and taxes.
Swiss cars often have fake plates in SA, too expensive to pay for the fees that are useless in SA, so they return the original plates but then they are technically not legal on the road.
You can not change the swiss plates / registration over to you.
You only buy a bike with no legal registration.
