    Hi I just won a moped in Ireland but I had to move over to England in order to get a job.

    Does anyone know the best/ cheapest way of bringing it/ shipping it or how much it costs to register over in the UK?

    Maybe check with the DVLA. When bring one back from the UK, you have to get the old owner to clame it exported on the V5 Document. But the Irish registration book, doesn't have an export section. Not much help I know but there you go. Also dont you have a year? Before it has to be registered as you are not considered a resident of that country yet. Cant remember how that law goes though to be honest.

    Depending on the value of the moped and the hassle of getting to somewhere in the UK it might be better if you sell it here and buy one over there.

    Aren't there also different licensing in the UK? I don't think you can ride any bike in the UK without a bike license.
