Hi guys and gals, well I've just sold my vfr400nc30 in RWB. The bike is going to Belgium, the chaps has filled out he v5 but what happens now do I send it off with the export slip and v5? Never had this before what do I do?

How do you feel now its gone?

All you need to do is make sure you get a receipt of sale with the name / address / signature of the new buyer (just incase to cover your own back. date and time it.. )

Give him the V5 to fill in and MOTS and things at it will help register the vehicle in Germany.

I'd give him a copy of a reipt of sale too.

After the sale just write a letter to the DVLA saying that the bike (include the reg number on the letter) has been sold to a foreign national for permanant export.

Thats it.

Youll get a confirmation letter a few weeks later saying that the vehicle will be de-registered.

I dont think its changed since then but you can always phone the DVLA.

Some people fill in the permanant export form and send that to the DVLA as well as a letter but I always thought that was for your own use. (i.e you are exporting it) hence Ive never sent it, just a letter.

Is he riding it back? he should have temporary German plates (at least for car, I cant see why they dont have them for a bike) if not make sure the letter is timestamped.. any speedig points after the sale will still come to you until its re-registered in Germany.

always sad to sell a bike but my nail bike project is done now just few parts Im waiting on delivery then she'll be on the road. Done all of the above bar sending the v5 and export slip. cheers for the reply Phil
