I always wonder how difficult bureaucracy is - never thought about the complex environment in my home country - the EU.
So there is some information about the European Insurance System at this link:
Grüne Karte: The Green Card System
As far as I understand - you can insure any motorcycle which you are the owner of for all countries in the EU which are participating in the Green Card system. However there is a one-year time limit for non-EU citizen!
Important:
1. Not all insurance companies offer the insurance for all EU countries (you have to carefully select a insurance company which covers the countries you like to travel) - the countries covered by the insurance are listed on the green card.
2. Not all insurance companies offer insurance to non-residents. You have to select one that does if you are a non-EU citizen.
3. If you have a Green Card insurance it is valid for all foreign countries which are listed on the Green Card - the country you got the Green Card from is usually not listed as the insurance bureaucracy is done by the insurance company where you bought the Green Card Insurance directly (without involvement of the office of the Green Card association).
This does mean you are insured in the country where you bought the insurance (often with different coverage - which means more services than in the rest of the EU)!
Summary:
You can find a list of official partner insurance companies from the Green Card Association here:
