I was wondering the same considering our emminant departure. I recall this being discussed in detailed on a previous thread.
I'm going with Bernard on this one. I'm am also sure that you other guys are correct; yes it makes sense that Road tax and MOT are only for UK use.
My sense is this: For a vehicle to be used legally anywhere in the world it should at least be legal in it's country of origin. So you must have a current Tax, MOT and Insurance for the bike to be on th road; which ever road that may be. chaces are nobopdy is ever going to ask about it, but if you are involved in an accident in Outer whereever and they phone up DVLA who says the bike is not fully registered etc then you could pick up problems.
Yes there are lots of ifs and maybes but we are talking about £50 or thereabouts. On the grand scheme of things is that really worth taking a gamble on? Any insurance company will make an issue of it, even if they are wrong, and delay payment as long as possible etc etc.
