If theres anyone who wishes to export a bike themselves, it can be a long and drawn out process in 'some cases', especially when a classic bike, such as a 1977 Z1000. It took my best mate aproximately 4 years to source all the original parts before she finally got a full French plate. She was so peed off, she sold it not long after, and she'd had the thing for bleddy years over here!
A more modern bike is far simpler.
