It's not necessarily difficult and the process is essentially the same as for a car.

A lot depends on what it is though and a recognised European model will be much easier than say a Jap grey import or something weird and whacky.

It can be costly too as Spain (illegally) imposes import duties based on value.

A final bill of €1000 or more is not inconceivable!

No, I said the total bill for getting it onto Spanish plates could come to €1000 not that they would tax you €1000!

If it's European model for a bike of that age you'd probably get away with under half that, assuming of course that you did everything yourself.

If you employed somebody to help you then their fee alone could be a few hundred Euro pushing you back up toward the €1000 again.
