Anyone done this? I've seen a motorbike on ebay which needs registering. what documentation would I need and how much would it cost?

Cheers Mark

It's a grey import road bike 20 or so years old.

you'll need the import documents, a receipt to show the import duty/ tax has been paid and a dating letter from somewhere (manufacturer or owners club)

after that the DVLA may want to do an inspection, but the cost is quite low ( less than £100 all in ) hth
