Don't waste your time, that cool 'cheap' 125 will become expensive after paying for registration, hassle and your time, plus the question what if you can't register.

Pick up a uk bike with uk papers and start riding it.

Have fun.

You need to go to (or write to ) a dvla office

You need proof of ownership etc and then fill out a v5, pay for the road tax, and there's a fee of about £50 on top

Then it will be uk registered and they give you all the paperwork etc you need

It is pretty straightforward, you anywhere near a dvla office ? Probably easiest to turn up in person with all your paperwork, save pissing about with letters etc

Not sure if it's the same with Euro bikes but I know that you have to pay import duty and/or VAT on a bike from outside the EU before you can register it, and it's not pennies. I've got the forms somewhere for one of my bikes, will try and find and post.

Here you go, it's from a while back and I'm not sure if it's changed but the first form is what you get to prove the bike has been brought into the country properly and any duty and VAT has been paid. The other one is proof of ownership. I doubt you need all this for a EU bike though.

wouldnt you also need to sort lights out as they will point the wrong way as italians drive on the other side of the road

If you have its european log book, its fairly easy, you will need to register yourself on the government gateway site, once you have your registration number and password, you can register the bike on NOVA, once thats done, insure it, mot it, fill in a v55 for, then take the paper work to a dvlc local office, they will sort out a v5 and an age related plate, I have a cheat sheet to help you through nova......
