pazzo rosso

Hi, These would be my personal bikes coming in with my stuff from the US. From what I can glean I need to get a provisionary CoC, get a dealer to make the necessary changes to the bike, get necessary paperwork and get plates. I understand it's not that easy but them are the steps, roughly. The hard part is that Ducati says that it doesn't give out CoCs, can the French Ducati dealers do it? "Your local dealer should be able to do this and issue a certificat de bridage which you can then take to the DRIRE to obtain a single vehicle type approval certificate. With this magic piece of paper, you can do to the prefecture to register" - SD What about BMW? I haven't heard from them what the differences are US to EU but I imagine it's not cheap. Cheaper than buying the same bike in France though! I just want to be sure I can ultimately register the bikes in France somehow. Anybody have experience with this? The bikes in question are a Ducati ST3S and a BMW k1200R sport. This is a great board, thanks for any info you can give! PR
