youneed to insure it on the chassis number, you will get a 30 day cover note.
Take this with all the other paperwork MoT, import papers, vat, etc and the "V" form for registering a bike to your local DVLA office (never go at the begining or end of the month, too busy)
You will also need to pay £50 for first registration.

Went through this process last year and had to take it for an inspection. 30 mins there, 30 mins back, less than a minute to inspect. All they looked at was the frame and engine numbers.

About a week later I got the paperwork through the post, including a tax disc and a letter for getting the number plate made. As long as everything checks out you'll get an age related plate.
