Moderator DirtyDT Posted August 10, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 10, 2013 The first thing I would check is how long you can use it in the UK without doing anything. I think it is a year but not sure. Get a V/55 form. An import pack is available from here LINKY which may help. Taken from another forum "........For Republic of Ireland, you Insure the car on its VIN plate number, then take it to an MOT station in UK. Once you have that certificate you take all the documents you have for the car to a DVLA office. There is a registration fee and you pay for the TAX then they send you the new REGISTRATION document and TAX DISC with the UK reg plate they have given you......" Check out if you need to apply for a UK driving license too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DirtyDT Posted August 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 12, 2013 You can insure on the frame number for the change over. You won't be able to tax it until you get the paperwork to the DVLA. I would use the bike for a while on Irish plates, get the documents from the DVLA. Take the bike for an MOT on the frame number, get insurance on the frame number, take these and some cash to the DVLA office, give them these, the V55 and some cash (£55 plus the tax money) and then they will send you the V5 and a tax disk. You should then tell the insurer of your reg number to get an insurance certificate with the bikes number. Off to halfords and get a number plate made up and you are done. That just leaves your driving licence. I think this is right but it is worth checking as I have been wrong in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick-Bikesure Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Not a lot to be honest! Even if the bike is restricted to 33 bhp and you've taken a CBT over here, you still won't be able to get insured in the UK. Sorry for the bad news!
