Today I found a barn bike.  It is the one I have been looking for for some years - even better than that judging by the low mileage and condition.

I have to make an offer.  The issue with the bike, is that it is currently registered in Germany.

I need advice as to which questions are relevant - important - to ask the seller, as to how it was brought into the country and what issues could be caused.  I did ask if it was on a Carnet de passage, and the guy said no. 

Has anyone ever registered a bike or car like that and what is the procedure or possible issues.  I would like to register it legally to allow using it out of the country some day.

Thanks  :ricky:
