PS. I'm wondering if I could save some tax by temporarily importing the bike into the UK under my friend's name and then buying it off him after the 6 month grace period is up. That way the delivery and insurance costs may not be included in the duty and the bike will probably be worth a bit less as well.
PPS. Surely I wont have to pay the GST twice. If I buy the bike off my friend and have to pay tax on it, then exporting the bike from Canada should mean I'll be able to claim that back.
