Hello, my first post here. I am in the process of purchasing a small property in Urbanisation La Marina. To get around, I intend to bring over a UK registered 1971 BSA motorcycle, I will be using this less than six months of every year as I will be staying in just the winter months.

My current Insurance policy only covers me for 30 days abroad.

Can anybody point me towards a company that will ensure your motorcycle for six months usage in Spain please?, either a UK or Spanish company. At the momnet I am ensured in UK with Carole Nash.

RayD is correct. 

But to your specific question, we used the company below to insure 2 UK plated cars that we brought with us to Spain, and continue to insure with them now the 2 cars have been re-plated here.

The insurance is valid for anywhere in Europe (not just in the EU), without time limits.

This post that was quoted has been deleted.

I was lead to believe that as long as I stayed one day less than six months, I would not need to become a Spanish Resident? Especially as my main home that I will spend the greater period living in, is in the UK?

Regarding the 90 days post Brexit, is it possible to travel to Gibraltar, spend a day there and then start a fresh 90 in 180 day period?

So worst case scenario, instead of one stay of six months per year, I can take two three month periods as long as they are separated by three months?

If that proves to be the case, my original question, is it still a viable option?

Thanks for your help by the way.

Also, your motorcycle should be registered - matriculated - here.
