Anyone know roughly how much the shipping would be from South of England to South of Spain?

Also what is involved and the costs to get it onto Spanish plates?

Like the used cars in Spain, motorbikes seem overpriced and under serviced .scratchchin

I'll be watching this with interest, as I'm looking to do the same.

Transport wise you could give this guy a try ged.htransport@gmail.com I used them last year to send my Lambo back to the UK from Duquesa, and was happy with the service and price, they're based in Fuengirola.

Cheers
Thanks for that, will send him a mail.

Forgot how to quote all...

Thanks for all replies.
Have found these people who quoted 420 quid & VAT door to door. Seems a bit dear but will serve as a reference point.

I will E mail Jiggins Transport and see how they compare.

I am not a biker, but am planning ahead for a surprise birthday present for my wife who used to own a Honda Shadow. The plan is to buy a used Harley-Davidson Sportster.

I was kind of hoping that the headlights on UK / Spanish motorbikes would be the same, so that could be an added hassle.

After years of living in Spain with a mildly modified car, I am very familiar with all the problems which arise at ITV time (swapping back suspension, exhaust, bumper etc etc). The trouble with used Harleys seems to be that many are modified in some way, so will lead to more ITV woes. Will have to choose carefully.
