Chris! I finally got a good feeling about this and here you are with all these questions I can't answer. There good questions though. .. damn.
Some of the bikes up for sale were driving into mongolia by overlanders. others.. I don't know. They are all on Mongolian plates now. They belong to he shop selling them, I assume.
If I buy one, it will be put in my name, and that transfer should take a few days but should not be a problem.
The bikes were originally also sold in the Netherlands so we have more of them riding around. So the bike should be 'street legal', but you need to get an examination to get dutch plates. This does not come for free off course but is doable. Paying import taxes --> no idea yet. But this goes for the Dutch country, if I want to make this my regular ride.
But between the EU border and my house is a whole lot of km. I have honestly NO CLUE on what could/will happen when I hit the eu border.. I'm European. The bike is mine.. I say.. let me go through. But then again.. there a reason I don't get to make the rules.
Anyone any ideas on what could happen? Aside from not letting you get in off course! Are there import papers?
Batma. .Eh ... Blommetje

Having had a very brief glance at the drivemongolia website and seeing the testimonial page with no testimonials (!) and pictures of people riding offroad in Tshirts and not even a jacket, I would suggest you consider buying a bike from an arriving tourist.
Put up a wanted request here on the HUBB?
If the tourist were Dutch then it'd be real easy with papers, assuming you can sort it out in Holland to get the names changed.
It's also really easy to sell UK bike to a non-British person (you). Get the paperwork done in the UK and have the new papers (called a V5) in your name (at the seller's address?) posted to Mongolia.
Can't comment on the vehicle registration process for other EU countries.
So no hassle with EU importation at the Russia/Belarus border with Poland or Finland and probably much cheaper than paying 3000usd for some old dog of a bike with possibly dubious papers.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
