UK or Germany - Any advice for buying a bike???
Hi Folks.
I'm living in Kazakhstan, and want to buy a bike in Europe and drive it to Kaz. Originally I thought I was going to fly into Frankfurt, buy the bike there, get 1 year export plates and drive to Kaz. (1 year because it'll give me the chance to decide if I'll be in Kaz in 2010/11.)
Since now I'm flying into London, I have an option.
1. Fly/Rail to Germany and follow the original plan.
2. Buy in the UK.
For option 2, would I be able to register and keep it registered as a UK bike without residency. (I'm Canadian, but I don't think that really helps) It would be much easier than importing and exporting the bike if/when I leave Kaz.
Does anyone know what the export plate situation is in the UK. I've looked, but found nothing.
Any help, advice would be welcom.
