there is no special paperwork, just be sure you get the paper of the vehicle himself which his called "grey card " in Belgium

merci but I have heard that it is hard to find vendor selling insurance for motorbike in Belgium? Is it true? I can not believe that because how come the 1st owner driving without insurance then?

@lgwconsult:
BTW, I used to stay in Thailand and now I am in Mauritius. You are welcome if some day you want to visit Mauritius. Awesome island.

it's not that difficult to insure your bike you've combined possibilties togeteher with a car or without, it's more expensive without but not difficult at all.

i take good notes of your proposal !! many thanks in advance ;)

I am at a loss as to where else to turn. I am buying an old vespa from the 70's an I am trying to find how to do the paperwork. Am I right thinking that I should:

- sign a private contract to transfer the property
- go to DIV with this contract and the vespa documentation
- after that get an insurance

Am I missing something? is there any special insurance for this kind of scooter?

If you do not have the answers, where do you recommend me to ask?

Thank you
