Just seems like a pretty bad idea to me; also, I wouldn't necessarily listen to the vendor as they have a vested interest in selling you the bike.

I bought a car from a traveller which was exported from the Netherlands and nowhere imported, it was stateless... Travelled up and down Africa and South America with it , no trouble at all. Thing is that no custom officer knows (even French Guyana and Suriname) what the documents look like in the homecountry.
Have also travelled with dutch registered vehicles. Stopped the yearly roadtax (houderschapsbelasting opgeschort). This can be done by a third party if you first have to cross Europe. You just take a copy of the registration documents.
If you want/need insurance outside Europe you can buy it localy, cheaper than in NL.
