Germany has export plates and temporary plates for inland use. Both require insurance and road worthyness (2yr renewal cycle here, most dealer sell with new sticker). Both plates are valid 5 days and can be ordered (including insurance) by a dealer w/out you needing a postal address. They are used in making vehicle exports easy here.
So I´d visit the inlaws in CH, buy from a dealer in (southern) Germany with temp plates, drive it around for 5 days, built/buy a crate near the airports of MUC, FRA, DUS or continue to the ports of Antwerp or Rotterdam for a container share and ship it home.
maybe this one: RD07
Don´t pull in at the inlaws with the bike, as CH is non-EU and the bike would be taxed at customs on entry.
Good luck
