Registering and Insurance??
I'm a US Citizen wanting to buy a bike in the EU to ride for the next 2 years (off and on due to Schengen).
I have many friends across Europe who said they will help me with the purchase of a bike, once I find one. Planning on April/May 2025 to start.
However, some posts I've seen on this and other sites indicate that it is very difficult to register, if not possible, and that my friend would have to register the bike in their name. Then they would write a power of attorney to let me ride it.
However, with this method, I've read it's very hard to get into Turkey, and maybe difficult to get into the Balkan Countries.
In addition: Insurance is also difficult to get. I know the insurance is 'attached' to the bike, not the rider, but does that affect my friend's insurance rates if I need to use the insurance? Do they need to 'rent' it to me instead?
Surely this has been done in the past: A US Citizen purchasing a bike and insurance, but I just see roadblocks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
