You are supposed to have a notorised letter of permission. You will most certainly need the registration papers.

No. If you crash and leave the bike in Morocco, they have lost it.
- To buy a used bike in Spain I need a NIF (id Taxcode). As I am Italian, can I use my Italian taxcode to do it? Can I then register the bike in a short time and cross into Morrocco with it?
No, you need a Spanish NIE and for that you need an address. If you are buying from a dealer he might help you, but you also need a Gestor to arrange the registration in your name (maybe €200) and then insurance. Spanish motorbike insurance covers Morocco. You cannot sell the bike in Morocco or leave it long term without paying import duty.
Renting a motorbike in Morocco is quite a bit more expensive than renting a car.

Thanks to both of you.
I am aware that bike renting in Morocco is not complicated, but it would limit my chances of crossing borders. Furthermore, if the trip is long (one month or more), even at less than 50eur per day it is not financially viable anymore.
As I would like to extend my trip possibly well beyond Morocco, it seems that my best chance is to buy a bike new or 2nd hand in Italy, perhaps make a CDP for it, and enter from through Tunisia/Algeria.

I’m not sure about the rest of your preparations, but the border between Algeria and Morocco has been shut tight for many years. That’s not your “best chance.”

Wow ![Oops2](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/oops.gif) , thanks for letting me know
I naively thought that it was easy to go through Tunisia/Algeria.
I will go back to my orginal plan - a ferry to Nador

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.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
