What I am confused about is :- Is a motorcycle registered in UK considered as non EU and will the green card insurance be sufficient for me to legally ride the motorcycle in UK.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

The UK is part of the EU, maybe they didn't understand your question?
Anyway, green-card insurance is just the standard insurance card used all over Europe, the insurance card itself will indicate which countries the insurance is valid for.
For example, Bosnia was not listed under the countries the insurance worked in, so when I got the Bosnian border I had to purchase insurance for that country.
Normally green-card insurance covers the entire EU (and a few Eastern countries). However, when I was looking many insurance companies would cover me for every country EXCEPT the country the bike was registered in, meaning after purchase I would have to tow the bike to the border to be legal.
Not sure exactly why that was, but that was NOT the case with the Bulgarian company I listed. In May 2014 I was able to insure my used, UK-registered motorcycle with cheap green-card insurance that included the UK as well as the rest of the UK.
