06:05 If you've prebooked your MOT you can ride it down without issue, the only sort of trouble to possibly arise from it is if you're taking the mick and booking an MOT miles and miles away, it needs to be a local MOT test centre
Hey mate thanks for the video, its pretty convenient timing as I'm looking at importing a CT110 as well so I've got a few questions: How much was the shipping cost? How long did it all take? Did you consider buying it from Australia as it seems they're alot cheaper? Were you inspired by Mighty car mods ;)
The shipping is all over the place and if you are doing 1 bike it's expensive you would want to find some place that can dose it in bulk. Or someone who is importing a van it's not free it's alot cheaper. This bike was brought to the UK before the shipping price hike. I have allways wanted one of these bikes from around 2015 ish when I found out about nathen the postman who took one from Australia and rode home to the UK on it
Im thinking of shipping a honda crf300 rally from thailand. Just wondering how to work out the cost of the bike as I will be buying it second hand. Would it be based against the cost of a UK second hand example, or just my purchase price in Thailand
Quite a palaver then, I had contemplated importing a new Kawasaki ZX25R for a bit, is it the same for a new vehicle as it is a second hand/old vehicle?
So what happens if you already own the bike, and it just happens to be resting in a barn in your country of origin? Do you still need to pay VAT when you bring it in?
I have a triumph speed twin 1200 i bought in Spain, it’s only a couple of months old. I paid €14500 dollars you know how much tax I’d have to pay ish? Thanks
That seems a hell of a lot more awkward than what I had to do. Even if you had the official registration docs for the bike from another country would you still have to go direct to the manufacturer? Haha I had the same thing with the seats, I wrote 2 cus it has two separate ones and it caused consternation. Also love an auld CT110 so well worth it 😁😁 I'm not a nutter :P I just occasionally do things 😂😂
@@BigPezza Is it possible to import vintage bike from europe that is without the v5 equivalent? Just bring it to UK and ask club for dating certificate?
@@BigPezza did you had any proof that bike belonges to you? I would like to get Jawa 50 scooter. There is a lot of them in cental Europe but most of them without any papers. Barn find condition prety much.
Hi, I would like to bring my Suzuki Burgman Executive AN 650 Scooter to Scotland, which has Hungarian papers, Hungarian registration in September 2008. So the scooter is 15 years old, how do I get started with UK registration? Thanks if you can help!
if its a Brand New Bike and not 40 years old you will have to pay import tax and that is a % on the total cost of how much it cost for you to get it to the UK, so including shipping and it depends where it comes from but it could be around 25% on top. witch why i only get old bikes
It probably be expensive you would have to pay taxes and import duty and as it's a unknown brand in the UK It could be tricy to get insurance on it. You would also need to get in contact with the company that make the bike and make sure they send over correct vehicle documents
Good for you for making this video, and congratulations in your V5!

Rare in the UK and Europe not so rare in the land down under
Thanks for that very interesting and relevant as I have a bike that needs to be registered.

not sure on a brand new bike it can be done but its expensive
@@BigPezza I can imagine
So what happens if you already own the bike, and it just happens to be resting in a barn in your country of origin?

There would be a import charge for getting it registered in the UK, you have to apply for a nova
@@BigPezza Thanks.

Euros not dollars 🤪
Not sure exactly I would guess around £3000
I’ve sent mine off 5 times

Well done for persevering. Typical British nightmare...
No picture at the end of the bike wtf 😂. I had to go Google it.
