The amount of bikes leaving the UK has caused a bit of a shortage for the dealers . Loads go to Holland , Belgium ( due to the taxes on bikes over 100bhp) and Eastern Europe .
As said no problems registering bike in UK as long as you have a valid address . You can get short term insurance on the net from as little as one day to a few months , my slovak mate insured his new zx6 this way to take it home and it was cheap !! .
I helped a fellow officer from Belguim buy a virtually new Fjr1300 friom the Bristol area , found it on Mcn . It was fully loaded and the euro exchange rate made it a steal .
Its worth doing a check online re outstanding finance / theft / write offs - costs about £25.00 or so .
