Importing vehicle from EU

It sounds like a chinook! I had a quick go on it earlier and i forsee numb balls in my future. It vibrates a lot

They don't make bikes like this any more which is a shame. One of the reasons I've been looking for one of these, they just have a lot more character than modern bikes imo.

will you need to sort the lights and speedo before the MOT ? (a friend did, via ebay, on an import from France .)

The speedo will need some stickers put on it for sure. Not sure about the headlight on this bike. I have a feeling it points straight ahead rather than to one side but I'll get that checked out during the MOT.

Hey Scuzi, did you have to pay any taxes when importing from within the EU? I've been thinking about doing the same for a car.

Just to confirm, I did the NOVA online this morning and it came back instantly with £0.00 due.
