Will be interested how this works with the Brexit, if it changes a lot.
Might be a problem after Brexit, taxes and so on, nobody knows at the Moment.

Will having an Irish passport (I'm an American w/ dual citizenship) make insuring/registering any easier?
help me out!

Europe generally is VERY bike friendly. With the sheer number of bikes over there, the 2nd hand market should be well saturated enough to get something good at a great price.

The prices a bit high, but then I do not know how much I can bargain.

Used bike prices have gone up a lot in the U.K and I expect the world. However, I've always found the U.K full of cheap used bikes.
We are a motorcycle owning nation. Although the weather stops many people using them. So there are a great deal of low mileage older bikes for good value.
I would always go for something older and good quality than something newer of questionable quality.
For £1000-£1500 you can easily pick up a 10-15 year old high quality Japanese made bike.
eg. I just bought a 2006 Suzuki Bandit 1250S for £1500. A truly supurb motorcycle. Very strong and reliable.
For the same money I could have bought a 2-3 year old Chinese/Indian bike and it would already be falling apart and ready for the scrap man.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
