A quick update - my new toy arrived today - a couple of hours at the notar - 132 lira for the paperwork - and was told to go to the traffic police in 1 week for the MB number plate - spoke to various people about changing the plates and now have a very nice man who is going to sort it all out along with my scooter insurance. I was told in total I should expect to pay 250 - 300tl - total bill for the notar, plate change, insurance for 2 years 232 lira. I'm a very happy pink scooter owner - thanks to everyone who posted or sent me advice :-)
