Hi Pauline,
If you bring a bike over and want to change the plates, it can cost up to 1,000 Euros to do it (I have done it twice in the last ten years) I normally say to people, if you have a bike you really love and want to keep, and want to pay the price, then bring it here... if not, then sell it in the UK and buy one when you get here, much less hassle, although bikes can be a bit dearer here. I used a Gestor here to do it for me, but there are other change agents (as others have said on here) who can also do the job for you. It can cost more (or may not be possible at all) depending if there have been any modifications (and type of modifications) to the bike. So best to get a quote from a couple of agents, and take it from there. To save time, you could start the process from over there by sending all the bike details to an agent here, just to get some rough quotes etc.
