The Registration Process

The Registration Process

1 Order the bike from us like a Riese & Muller HS which comes with a Certificate of conformity. For bikes manufactured this year they need to meet the new regulation - 168/2013/EU as HS do.

2 Order the forms from forms.dft.gov/order-dvla-forms/. You would need a New vehicle import pack - Application to register a new imported vehicle for use in the UK and V55/4 - Application for a license for a new motor vehicle and declaration for registration. This process generally takes five to ten days.
