Bike insurance when selling

Okay thanks, that's very helpful. If the sale doesn't go through as planned on the day my insurance expires I will declare it SORN online and the new owner can do the new tax as you did.0

If it's declared SORN by the current owner then transfered to a new owner, don't they need to wait for the new registration papers from the DVLA to declare it back on the road. My buyer has 200 miles to travel and doesn't want to make 2 trips so this is not doable. They just want to come down, make sure it's okay, pay, transfer ownership, do insurance online there and then and ride off.
You fill in the green part on the second page of the V5C and give that to the new owner, it acts as their registration document for 2 months or until the new one is sent to them from DVLA. They can use that to tax the bike at the Post Office as soon as they have bought it.
You send the completed front page of the V5C to DVLA.0
