BM,
Have a look at the following link.

I bought my SA registered bike into the UK on the ferry from France about two weeks ago without having to complete any documentation at all. I am going to retain the SA registration as it is a lot easier than trying to convert to a UK rego.
If you are flying / shipping the bike, there may be additional complications, but coming overland there is no paperwork to complete at all. Just make sure you pick up 3rd party insurance on the way.
If you want to sell the bike in the UK, you may need to consider bringing it into the country formally under a customs exemption. In my case this will not be an issue, as I intend to ride it back down the west coast to SA at some point.
