Passport:And make sure it's valid. That doesn't mean just 'not expired yet'... The EU/Schengen requirement is that your passport much have been issued less than ten years before your outward travel date, AND that it has three months' validity on your planned return date.
All of the other lines remain unchanged, but it’s good to know what the information on your licence actually means and why it’s important to keep an eye on it… Even if you're not actually going to France, you’ll probably be passing through and you need to be legal while you're there. The motorcycle must not be derived from a vehicle of more than double its power. So you can’t ride a Ducati Panigale V4R that’s been restricted to 35kW After the date comes your initials, unless you’ve only got one initial in which case the second character is replaced by a 9. Travel/breakdown insurance: This is not obligatory, but it is highly recommended, and should include repatriation for you AND you bike if it's going to be worth having. You need to make sure the policy you choose actually covers you not just for riding bikes, but for the type of bike and the type of riding – you don't want to find out the hard way that it doesn't cover a spot of off-road, for example, or a trip into the Armco at the Nürburgring.
Does my current motorcycle insurance policy cover me for touring Europe?
Depending on which countries you're visiting, you may need extra paperwork, equipment and/or knowledge.

In January 2021, as part of the post-Brexit fallout, the old ‘Euro’ number plate which showed the EU stars symbol, was replaced with a new plate showing the Union flag and a GB symbol.Depending where you go, noisy pipes can get you into hot water, and some roads are sometimes closed to motorcycles completely at certain times as a result of noise problems.
Most road safety organisations recommend a break of at least 15 minutes every 2 hours. Mind your load Every comprehensive UK motorbike insurance policy should have some basic measure of EU cover. But some policies might be more generous than others. Different EU countries have different rules around slow-moving or stationary traffic. Some allow filtering. Other countries, like France, don’t. This also means that if your motorbike is stolen while riding abroad, your policy might not cover you. Often the motorways are too congested to go fast anyway, in which case remember filtering's only legal in completely stationary traffic.

At time of writing (December 2022) the ETIAS application portal wasn't live, but you can sign up to be informed of developments here. If you’ve got an A1 UK licence– which lets you ride up to 125cc motorbikes– you’re still limited to the same engine size in Europe.
