Im from Montenegro (not in EU, still Laughing ) and I wanna buy bike in England that I wanna buy. I wanna ask you do I get VAT back while exporting the bike?! So if I paid 1.400 pounds do I get e.g. 16% back on export?!

Is there an option that I get bike via airmail or to get it by train?!

Its 160 kg heavy VFR400R.

You should be able to claim the VAT back at 17.5%, You will need to apply to HM Revenue & Customs for that. I'm not sure how it works in Montenegro although I suspect you'd be liable to pay some form of import tax

Getting the bike back, your best bet would be to contact a few freight companies and find how much it is going to cost (a fair amount I would have thought), but is definately possible.

Just a small warning you may find a lot of sellers reluctant to sell outside the UK due to the amount of scammers that seem to be prevalent at the moment.
