Importing my KTM from Germany to the UK
 

Hi guys

I'm about to import my 640 Adventure from Germany to the UK. Has anyone of you any experience how to do this in detail. I think I have a rough idea what is required, but since I'm a little bit in a hurry, I wanted to make sure that I'm doing the right things in the right order. And dealing with authorities was always my biggest nightmare, doing this in a foreign country in a foreign language makes it even worse :(

If there is anyone around who has done this before or is an expert for other reasons I would really appreciate if you could give me a step by step description what to do and in which order.

Cheers

This may give you enough detail:
Vehicle information
"Exporting/importing vehicles"
or
Importing and exporting a vehicle : Directgov - Motoring

easy and quick done
 

Ohh yes the best description you can find :)

step 1:
get the bike, with or with out registration plates (easier if the bike is still under German registration) but you need the "Fahrzeugbrief" is equal to the V5 (it's a big green paper) !

step 2:
find a insurance company and call them up for a cover note, you need the cover note, a temp one will do for the DVLA.

step 3:
show up at your local MOT and get the certificate.

step 4:
see your Reg-post office locally to you, do the paperwork, pay for the TAX-disk.
there they will cut a corner off the "Fahrzeugschein" and hand over your new V5.
make sure every thing is right, control the chassis no. make sure the V5 has the bike type "KTM" and not "Kawasaki" as they did on my LC4 a few years ago...

step 5:
buy a reg-plate and off you go............. :)

step 6:
enjoy riding.......... :scooter:
