DVLA's position that you should export and re-register the bike after 12 months is clearly unworkable for long journeys. I very much doubt they would know, or care, if the bike was out of the country as long as the insurance and tax paperwork was up to date (as you say a new bike avoids the 'MoT trap')
The only thing would be that your UK insurance won't cover you for more than 90 days out of 180 in the EU, but if you're buying a separate policy I don't see any problems. Just reinsure to keep it technically legal then once you're back in UK you have a policy in place and you're within its terms.
