Thanks Michael. Yeah I suspected that I would have to go without comprehensive insurance for the duration.
But I was thinking about buying a Euro spec bike there and selling it in a couple years, not attempting the import/export route. And shipping the bike I have there now back to the USA or selling it there. That scenario seems to bring up the residency problem.
I called a guy I know at IMTBike in Madrid yesterday to ask him about selling one of their RT's. He said he couldn't legally sell me the bike because I didn't have dual citizenship or a residence in Europe. That came as a surprise because I had discussed it with the company last year and nothing was said about it.
Maybe I need to rent a cave somewhere on the Mediterranean
