I am an Australian that often rides Europe on an African-registered bike.
I've not had an problems crossing in and out of the Schengen region with bike papers in the same name as my passport. Customs tends to check the Engine and Chassis numbers match the bike paperwork so I find it easier to offer them the use of a torch (sorry flashlight for you) to find them easily.
15 minutes would be the longest I've spent at Customs (on bike issues) and that is more about chatting with the guys who are curious or are bikers.
You'll need to have the round oval disk of your country of registration prominant on the bike for some countries in Europe (ie Austria). This always confused people - "what does RN stand for?"
My disk was created with a PC and printer and sticky-taped over for waterproofness before attaching. I always show colour photocipes of the African registration papers (Customs don't know if they're real or not). So if the numbers and names all line up and they've got no other reason to stop you then its pretty cruisey.
Enjoy your travels
