hello all! I found not expensive bikes but need french papers so can you tell me how to say "european certificate recognition/approval" (certificat européen d'homologation) properly please?

Is it easy to get in your country? In UK? I'm looking to buy an Aprilia and sounds like the italian are not easy to deal with...

Please, talk to me in simple words so i don't end up in bushwalls again :rolleyes2:

Give me a chance to get a nice bike so i visit your place and have the spare money for the crack :lbhbh:

If you have a full French licence you can drive here if you bring your own bike

Thanks, you do really help me :wassat: si si aqua plata por favore :lbhbh:

My question was : does anyone got a european homologation certificate's once in his life to sell his bike to a bleeeeeding foreigner and was it easy to get? Does it costs something and how long to have it? :woots:

Yep that's the one... I suppose I was dreaming thinking you could get one easier than here... But it certainely has to be conform to the country you want to register the bike to... I'm giving up :bag:

you do know french bikes are restricted to 100bhp, depending on the method it could be a head ache, great machine though

You're right, can be a real mess...

Anyway, I bought something else at the end, an old RSV 2001, 15000 miles and clean to drive! No fuss stuff on it but it works well for our little Alps'roads :tongue_old:
