wobblemonster Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hi, I have a UK registered bike, which I managed to get 3 months French insurance cover on, while I registered it in France.Unfortunatly the bike has more than the 106hp that the French allow, the bike is a 1999 model so the 2002 ruling doesn't apply and so I am looking at a way round this hurdle, the bike is still MOTed and taxed and registered to my UK address but after looking at insurance quotes in the UK they all have a time clause on time in France.I am NOT looking for a way to bend rules or defraud anyone, I just want to ride my bike legally.Any help in resolving this issue would be gratefully received[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Is/was that bike available in France?If so,what were the mods used to reduce the power to make it legal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob T Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Yes they do, but only if you are a UK resident, if you are a French resident then you might as well have no insurance at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
