No, it's not difficult.

There are many bikes (especially Harleys) that people bring from the UK, Germany, Holland, etc and they change them over to Spanish plates (matriculation).

I suggest going to a bike shop/dealer and asking them how much they would charge. Then go to a gestor and ask them how much they expect it would cost. The cost of matriculation depends on the make/model/year of the bike.

I believe torie has had bikes matriculated and can possibly give you more information.

I have! Have a look at this thread:

But then again, you might want to have a look at my latest blog, (address in my signature), as had a bit of a problem recently. (Sorted now, but what a hassle!!) Makes for an entertaining story though. :) Teehee

Keep all the bills for the import tax as they and other countries in the EU are taking it illegally, there must be a test case soon. ;-)
