Buying new motorbike
If I were to buy a brand new motorbike from an Internet company based in the UK and had them deliver it to my address in Spain, could I simply register it in Spain in the same way as if I had bought a new bike from a shop in Spain?
It wouldn't actually be registered in UK because it would be brand new, therefore I wouldn't have thought I would have the hassle of import/export.
Any one have any experience of this?

Re: Buying new motorbike
Our Technico told us about a chap in Almeria that imported a tank and had to go through the process, unexpat is quite right re you will not get around the import duty that way but why not buy in Spain? I have seen just as many bikes here, especially after last weekend even in my neck of the woods, miles from Jerez.
