Denmark is an EU member - just like us for the moment. So no import tax I believe.

As the UK is still in the EU, there is no import duty.
But you do need to go through customs with the paperwork to check if the vehicle isn’t stolen so make sure your paperwork is in order. You’ll need the bike’s danish equivalent of your UK V5 and a declaration of sale between you and the current owner. Customs will then issue a clearance document which allows you to register the bike at DVLA.

Basically correct in that you should get a customs clearance of VAT liability for the registration, last time I did this I was not asked for it. DVLA may want to inspect the bike and you'll likely need a dating certificate from BSA or VMCC, personally I found VMCC much easier to deal with. It's all easier if the bike is reasonably untouched and unmodified.
