Any ideas on what the procedure is in terms of getting it approved for UK use? |
Hi Simps, I've not imported a bike myself but I don't think it is to difficult. I just Googled this Department for Transport page (
http://www.dft.gov.uk/vca/other/vehi...porting-mu.asp ) which has the rules. At first glance, if you import from Europe it looks like you have to sign a dectaration (Mutual Recognition Process). As you say, there are not many around and with the Euro economy not too brilliant you might pick one up for a good price, just factor in any duty (
