As the title suggests ... I’m thinking of buying a track bike in the UK and then importing it here to Dubai.

Questions.

How easy it is?
What about the lack of a registration document?
What insurance do I need?
Is there an import tax?

Any other help would be greatly appreciated.

Importing is no problem but probably cheaper to buy here

bringing it in as a race bike you do not need a v5 etc but then you will not be able to register or insure it

race car/bikes are lux items so 10% duty and 5% vat on import
