Would it be safe to buy a Q plate bike as it could be stolen recovered?

I have seen Q plates on other bikes what are lowriders and specials, do they all get checked in the same way?

The DVLA issue Q plates to kit cars/bikes and other things like cat c/d writeoffs that have been re-licensed after being fixed.

Wrong, a cat c/d write off will retain it's original plate.

The Q plate is a consumer protection measure which allows the vehicle buyer to quickly and visually determine that the age and origins of a vehicle they may be considering buying, is uncertain.

The 'Q' shows that the vehicle was either not originally registered in the UK and proof of age was unavailable at registration, or that it has been built using a significant proportion of used parts.


Quote:
"Q" numbers are therefore non-transferable and must remain with the vehicle unless documentary evidence which confirms its origins or age comes to the attention of the DVLA who may then choose to assign an age-related registration mark. If you find such documentary evidence for your Q plated vehicle then you should send it to your nearest DVLA Local Office who may then assign a replacement age-related registration number plate to the vehicle.


The Bounce is on a Q plate as it is a Japanese import and I've been too lazy to get it's birth certificate from Honda.
