This may help, it covers most bases.

You can register the bike in your name, all you need is a UK address for the documents to be sent to. A friend or relative's address is fine. Don't be tempted to try and get round the insurance requirements, it's all computerised with ANPR and your bike could be seized.
If you are moving to UK long term (more than a few months) it may be worthwhile getting a UK licence. If you're above 26 years old you can go straight in on an 'A' licence which entitles you to ride any bike. You'd need to pass the theory test and book a practical (for which there's a bit of a queue) but with time to study the Highway Code (not rocket science) and as an experienced rider it should be a doddle. You may find it worth going through a riding school as they would have bikes they can hire you.
As a new rider (in the eyes of insurance) it may still be expensive to get insurance but not difficult/extortionate as it is for foreign licence holders.
