Taxing bike with no V5.

Well...

I bought another bike from a breaker, light damage, nothing bad at all. Nice n cheap.

I have an issue, it has no tax. Or V5.

However, DVLA site states this ...

I believe you'll find you can only do that if it's registered to you.

So, you need to apply for a V5 in your name and I don't think LVLAs let you do that and tax it at the same time anymore (although I might be wrong).

Don't talk to me about passports Laughing

I'll get insurance certificate and driving licence and see if I can sort some tax.

No issue with waiting for a V5, but I'm now going to have to be experimental with getting the bike home.

I suspect you may need the VIN number as well as the reg. No harm in making a note of it, and the engine No. whilst you're at it.

One thing you didn't mention was if the bike's damage was recorded as Cat C or D?

If it's D you should have no trouble but Cat C you'd need to take it to have a VIC after it's been repaired (archaic DVLA rule to shaft the cut n shutters or cloners who'd buy a write off & use it's VIN to re-register their handiwork)

Really

That's strange... So they'd prefer motorcycles to be cloned than cars.... Makes sense, it's the DVLA after all Crying or Very sad

Cool for getting back on the road quicker though I s'pose

Working till 6 so no chance, would be Saturday morning with it still in the boot of my car Laughing

No VIC check, nothing, never even recorded as damaged. 1 owner from new, just under 1k miles.

Winner Laughing

I'm just having a look at it tbh...

I'll ride it, see what its like. I doubt it will be of YBR quality... but I doubt its some real cheap low budget shed either.

I'll get it all pretty with a bow and sell to a new 17 year old pass victim.
