Can a foreigner register a motorcycle in the UK (or any other European nation) ?

Is it possible for a foreigner to buy, register & insure a motorcycle
in the UK (or any other European nation) such that they could legally
ride the bike there ?

Well Spete of this parish seems to have managed it.

 

Here we go...

 

Really... Details?

Even spics do

 

yeah his name is spete, he's dutch, owns (I presume) a yellow VTR which
lives in Manchester and I presume is insured correctly.

Absolutely! In Denmark it is not even legal for a foreigner to ride a
motorcycle (or drive a car) with non-danish registration if they live in
Denmark. Rules are something along the lines that you have to have it
registered and insured in Denmark within 6 weeks after taking up residence
there (should you be insanely inclined along those lines...)

't Was quite easy: I bought, registered and insured a motorcycle in the UK,
such that I could legally ride the bike here.

 

And you're a foreigner as well?

the UK rules for foreigners are here
http://www.dvla.gov.uk/drivers/drvingb.htm

anyone can be the registered keeper of a vehicle (do not even need a
licence)

EU nationals can ride/drive for life on their existing foreign licence or
exchange it for a UK licence

From other nations you have 12 months on your existing licence then you
have to pass the UK test.

**** knows what they do in other European countries

 

Several Ukrm-ers are furriners, and have successfully registered bikes
here. Spete, Timo, Pavel (what happened to him?), and others.

 

What's with this new posting name, btw? Is it only until you have a
haircut?

 

I'm a dirty foreigner in Sweden and it's very easy. I've bought a
Swedish registered car and bike, both of which are registered to me
and I pay the insurance. I drive on my UK licence which I'm NOT
obliged to change for a Swedish one if I don't want to.

Haircut? Wossat?

Nah, I changed it so the hypothetical question I posted yesterday
morning didn't immediately show up under my name when using google and
now I can't be arsed to switch it back. Guess I probably should, tho'.

Lazy, me.

 

Er, in that case wouldn't X-No-Archive have been a wise move,
along with a different sig?

 

You forgot Des; he bought, registered and insured a bike as a foreigner
didn't he?

 

You have to register imaginary bikes in the EU? Whatever next?

Oh yes, you've had to for ages. If you don't you get an imaginary 80
euro fine. With no imaginary appeal.
