For NLD: I am planning on making sure I take my drivers licence, ID, copy of insurance -> all 3 are required. A drivers licence is no longer a valid form of ID in all instances where identification is required (would suffice for a "I'm me", but not anything official). Info here (Dutch). You're required to have a copy of your insurance when/if something happens.

If you want to import the bike to any left-hand drive country it is a requirement because the bike needs that adjustment to be road-legal by the national law of that country (wont pass MOT without it). Either install blinders or replace the headlight(s) altogether with left-hand drive spec ones. (Replacement is recommended, blinders reduce light efficiency.) I have imported several UK bikes and cars to the Netherlands in the last 20 years so I had reason to look this up. | |

Also, if your plate doesn't have a EU blue band with the ring of yellow stars you'll need a GB sticker. | |
