BMW VINs same on European and US BIKes
Hi,
I've recently purchased a 1997 R1000R in England, where it is registered. I own an R1150GS in the U.S. on my US license.
I did not think it would be a huge problem, but I've been unable to find someone to insure me on a UK registration with a US license and international permit.
My question, (I'm out of hope of finding an insurer), is the VIN on a European BIke the same as a U.S.? If it is, I can just go to my local DMV, (they don't require a title on a vehicle over 15 years old), with the VIN, register it here, and get Green Card insurance. If the Vins are different I have an issue.
I'm open to any other suggestions or advice. Thanks very much.
