Whatever happened to my old bike?

Is it possible that used bikes from Britain are being sold elsewhere? Unlike cars, the bikes would not have a problem with being sold in countries that drive on the right side of the road.

I can’t remember many of the reg numbers of the bikes I’ve had, a goz750 uni track does though, D50 NGO. Bought it a year old I think with just 2k miles from Plymouth way back in 86/87, still alive today but suddenly very low miles.

In 2012 both the wife and i bought brand new bikes.
Hers was a Yamaha XJ6F and mine was a VFR1200F.
I W/off my vfr in 2014 and we sold the xj6f in the same year.
Role on to 2021, I was looking on autotrader. And the wife xj6f was for sale.
Within 15 mins i had bought the bike as it was the bike my wife wished she kept.
She still has it now and loves it.

The right side of the road being what? Do you mean the correct side?

Decades ago I went to view a Kawasaki ZZR1100. On taking it for a test ride ,approaching left hand curve, the bike refused to turn and headed over the apex and towards the opposite kerb. Head bearings shot and no surprise walked away without buying
