This is an EOS post from 'Goldwing' a few years back
i have done it.
first thing is the bike in your name on the v5, if possible do that.
if not you will need a letter / contract to prove you have purchased bike along the original v5, the receipt for bike should show chassis number & reg. number.
you will then need to insure your bike is roadworthy & has a speedo that shows Kilometers per hour (odo is fine in Miles).
also your headlight must NOT swing to the left.
you will then need to get an engineers report (aprox €100), this has basic details of dimensions of weights / size of bike.
I did have a C of C but that was rejected by ITV station (!) because it did not show above.
You will then need to take all your paperwork to ITV station & have an import ITV, this is slightly more than normal (i think €70).
They will check, brakes, lights, horn, engine noise etc.
If past they will then issue you with the next set of papers you will have to go to the local vehicle tax office.
There is a sliding scale on bikes depending on size & age (i paid about 350 on a 1150 cc 7 year old bike).
your 250cc will be a lot less.
once you have paid that its off to trafico to get the rest of papers.
With papers you can then get your number plate
Process is not too difficult but not overly cheap
